\n“[A] debut romance novel that will capture your heart.”\u2014Cosmopolitan<\/p>\n

Love evens the score between two tennis players in this stunning debut romance.<\/p>\n

Recently-turned-pro tennis player Austin Hardy has been out since high school and it\u2019s never been a big deal. That is, until he becomes the first openly gay man to compete in a Grand Slam tournament. Suddenly, being gay is a huge deal, with headlines to prove it.<\/p>\n

Unprepared for this new spotlight, Austin\u2019s anxiety disorder hits a breaking point, and he trips and falls at practice. Right next to the very attractive, very talented, and probably straight Diego Cruz, ranked second in the world.<\/p>\n

The two professional rivals start a friendship off the court. But between their flirty banter, mixed signals, and looming showdown, Austin is thrown further off his game by Diego.<\/p>\n

With the eyes of the world on Austin, the weight of history on his shoulders, and Diego across the net, he must decide whether love means nothing or if it means everything as he battles for the trophy during an electric two weeks at the US Open.<\/p>\n
