Especially when her old school crush, handsome doctor Sam Delaney, returns from the USA thirty years after leaving and is now displaying a killer forehand in direct view of her bedroom window. Despite what she tells her personal trainer fiance, Jules finds exercise as tedious in her 40s as she did as a teenager. But when she''s hit by an unprecedented wave of anxiety - brought on by perimenopause and her 19-year-old daughter''s solo trip around the world - she''s in urgent need of a distraction and rashly agrees to join an amateur women''s tennis team.

As rallies are hit and friendships are formed, Jules is astonished to find herself in the grip of a passionate, all-consuming relationship . . . and not only with the tennis. Problem is, will these sexy encounters she keeps stumbling into with Sam put her on course to a devastating double fault?
