Nothing will stand between this tennis player and her grand slam. Not even her growing feelings for her best friend...

Maggie Taylor didn't get to be one of the best tennis players in the world by throwing out all her rules. She sticks to her routines and the no-strings-attached list that keeps her from getting her heart broken. After all, love means nothing to a tennis player and Maggie knows first hand how complicated and messy relationships can be. Even her parents, the people she idolized the most, ended up getting a divorce. 

Instead of looking for love, she keeps her eye on the prize and her heart firmly locked away...even though it beats wildly for a certain best friend.

Rowan Amory has worked hard for the last decade, making a name for himself and becoming one of the best players of his generation. But lately, all he cares about is spending time with his friends and family and wondering if his best friend loves him back. He was young and stupid when he suggested the no-strings-attached agreement between them, not realizing a decade would pass and he still wouldn't have the courage to ask for more.

But now, he's more than ready to confess his feelings and take the next step. The only thing left is to convince Maggie to throw out the list and trust that he'll be there to break her fall.

Will throwing out the rules result in a double fault? Or will taking the relationship to the next level be as easy as "game, set, match"?
