A friendship tested beyond the baseline

Tennis gives Maggie Taylor a clear set of rules: train hard, pursue a Grand Slam, and keep her heart out of play. Her longtime friend Rowan Amory, also an elite player, wants their no-strings arrangement to become something more. The conflict grows from the gap between Maggie’s guarded approach to relationships and Rowan’s readiness to ask for a deeper commitment. Set within the world of professional tennis, the novel pairs an athletic ambition with a friends-to-lovers romance. It is the second installment in the Breaking Barriers series, while the publisher notes that it can also be read on its own.

  • Readers interested in tennis-centered romance
  • Those who enjoy friends-to-lovers stories
  • Readers seeking a series installment that can be read as a standalone

Book overview

Nothing will stand between this tennis player and her grand slam. Not even love...

 

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 works hard to keep her heart from getting 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 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 to make a name for himself and now he's one of the best players of his generation. But lately, all he cares about is spending time with his loved ones and wondering if his best friend, Maggie, loves him back.

 

He was young and stupid when he agreed to a no-strings-attached agreement, 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 for the next step. All he has to do is convince Maggie to abandon the list of rules between them 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"?

 

Beyond the Court is a friends to lovers tennis romance and the second book in the Breaking Barriers series. This book can be read as a standalone.
