Forty Love - Paperback

by Jane Costello (Author)

A fun, sexy rom-com about a woman who discovers it's never too late to pick up a racket and take another shot at love.

Jules has lived next door to the local tennis club for years without picking up a racket. As a full-time buyer for a chain of lifestyle stores and a single, widowed mother of a teenager, she doesn't have time for a hobby-or for a potential run-in with her old school crush, Sam, whose killer forehand is now in direct view of her bedroom window.

In a surge of boldness and facing the anxiety of an empty nest, Jules decides to stop playing it safe and accepts an invitation to join the amateur tennis team. They are desperate for players, and the fact that she doesn't really play doesn't seem to matter.

As rallies are hit and friendships are formed, Jules is astonished to find herself in the grip of a passionate, all-consuming relationship . . . and not only with the tennis. Now Jules is facing a whole new kind of match with her insecurities, her desires, and maybe--just maybe--a second shot at love. And boy, does it have some spin on it.
