A whisper away from thirty, gorgeous Tess Hamilton has been the tennis world’s top titleholder and celebrity since she won her first championship at fifteen. Now the headline-making party girl is getting her first taste of mortality–thanks to new teenage phenom Gabrielle Fontaine. But it’s Gaby’s cool, calm, and all-too-collected brother and manager, Max, who really has Tess seeing double. He’s the first man she can’t seem to seduce–or intimidate. It appears Tess is truly off her game, until a real-life, modern-day fairy godmother steps in.…
Aurora Favreaux, a founder of Glass Slipper, Inc., and an old family friend, has a plan to get Tess back on her stilettos, and it includes an unlikely meeting between Tess, Max, and Gaby at Glass Slipper’s new London headquarters–just in time for Wimbledon. It seems that Tess is going to hit the courts in a whole new way, to prove to the world–and herself–that a woman with the heart of a champion can ace life and love–even after the big 3-0.…

Tess Hamilton was a top tennis player with attitude. She led a jet-setting life, was a media darling, had money to burn, and kept her family cringing. After a career-ending injury, all that's left is the attitude, and she's desperate for money. Max Fontaine has raised his sister, Gaby. Now 16, she's poised to become the new phenom in tennis. Concerned about Gaby's penchant for temper tantrums, Max sends her to Glass Slipper Inc. for some moderation training. Aurora, one of the Glass Slipper's godmothers, recommends Tess as a coach for Gaby. Who better to guide her than the original bad girl of tennis? Max isn't happy, but Gaby is ecstatic. And Tess slowly realizes that coaching isn't so bad. Max and Tess can't be in the same room without going for each other's throats, which, of course, is a cover for their attraction. Readers will enjoy Kauffman's excellently well-written contemporary romance with its lively byplay, humor, and very human characters.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2006, American Library Association.)
