Match Point – Kobo eBook

She was his tennis coach. Twenty years later, she’s the one who can’t stop watching his serve.

Claire Hendricks is fifty-three, freshly divorced, and on her first vacation alone in twenty-five years. She booked a four-night Bahamas cruise out of pure spite, bought her first two-piece since her daughter was born, and promised herself nothing but sun, gin, and silence.

Then a familiar face from home shows up at the bar: Barb McNamara. And so does Barb’s son.

Dustin McNamara was a hot-headed eighteen-year-old with a killer first serve the last time Claire saw him. Now he’s thirty-eight, a launch-pad engineer with gray in his stubble, a bad knee, and a habit of noticing everything about her. One reckless challenge turns into an 8 a.m. pickleball match, and one match turns into two stolen nights in cabin 8214.

On the ship, nothing counts. But the ship docks Sunday morning, less than an hour from Claire’s front door. Back home, she’s got ninety kids at her tennis academy, a life she’s still figuring out, and Dustin’s mother in the produce aisle at Publix.

Claire has spent her whole life keeping score. This time, she’s not sure she can afford to win.

Match Point is a steamy, standalone reverse age gap romance featuring a confident heroine over fifty, a younger man who sees all of her, a meddling mother who knows more than she lets on, and a happy ending. Contains explicit scenes intended for adult readers.
