Description

📖 Paperback Edition — Her forehand was elite. Her heterosexuality needed work.

Blythe Kavanagh has spent her whole life knowing exactly what she wants. A Grand Slam title. The world number-one ranking. A perfect public image. Men who look good in press photos and never ask too many questions.

Then a rain delay, one reckless kiss, and her childhood best friend destroy her certainty in fifteen seconds flat.

Romy Calder has been Blythe’s secret weapon since they were kids — the strength coach who knows when she’s injured, anxious, overthinking, or one bad point away from losing her composure. She also knows that agreeing to help Blythe “explore” her sudden interest in women is the worst idea she’s ever had. Especially when Romy has spent twenty years wanting her.

The rules are simple: keep it private. Keep it casual. And for the love of God, don’t let it affect the season.

But between five-star hotel rooms, late-night recovery sessions, one very inconvenient shared bed, and a championship run that puts Blythe under a brighter spotlight than ever, “casual” stops being a word either of them can say with a straight face.

Blythe can handle a brutal serve at match point. Telling the truth about the woman she loves might be the first thing she can’t win alone.
