When life unexpectedly serves up a match point, do you play it safe—or swing big, even if it means risking it all?

Jules has lived across the street from the local tennis club for years without picking up a racket. As a full-time buyer for a national chain of lifestyle stores and a single, widowed mother of a teenager, she doesn’t have time for a hobby. And then, there is the matter of that run-in with her old school crush, Sam Delaney, who recently joined the club.

But when her daughter dashes off on a six-month European adventure, and Jules discovers her company is about to be sold, her anxiety skyrockets. Is this just another symptom of perimenopause—or the perfect midlife storm? In desperate need of distraction, Jules hesitantly accepts an invitation to join the amateur women’s tennis team.

To her astonishment, Jules finds herself loving the game (even if her serve has a vendetta against the net) and warming up to her teammates, but that’s not all. Her intense attraction to Sam is gaining an advantage over her. Now Jules is facing a whole new kind of match: one with her fears, her desires, and maybe—just maybe—a second shot at love.
