Book #1 of the Love Game series
“Loud music vibrated through the walls, and imagining smashing their sound system wasn’t helping me get to sleep. Nor was thinking that wherever Miles Callahan was staying, he wouldn’t be kept up by loud music. God, the man was infuriating. Come fuck me eyes? More like come punch me face. He could talk the humble tennis talk as well as anyone, but unlike most, it failed to fully paper over the insufferable size of his ego.”
Matteo Russo is the first and only openly gay tennis pro. Once a brilliant junior, he was slated for a bright future – until a freak accident derailed his career. Now, he’s fed up, he’s struggling to qualify for tournaments, and he’s not sure he can afford dinner tonight.
After losing to his old rival—the rich, arrogant, American superstar Miles Callahan—Mat throws the man’s privilege in his face and sets him a challenge – one he’s sure Miles would never accept. But he does. Determined to prove he’s earned his success, Miles travels to Wimbledon on a tight budget – no support team, no coach, no fancy hotel. And now the American needs a hitting partner, and someone to explain laundromats, and what started as a dare soon becomes a searing off-court fling.
Mat should be focussing on his career, not falling for a glamorous star. But Miles believes in his game in a way Mat hasn’t for a long time, and is fast becoming everything he’s ever wanted. Only… love and tennis just don’t mix, because one day soon they’ll have to face each other on the court.
And in tennis, someone always has to lose.

Book #2 of the Love Game series
Alexis Desrosiers is tennis’s bad boy. He smashes racquets, plays up for the crowd, and argues with umpires. Players hate playing him and journalists call him a spoiled brat, but Alexis doesn’t care. Tennis isn’t his dream. It’s just the family business. And it’s getting boring.
When a new umpire joins the tour, he isn’t what Alexis expects. Theodore Delaney is quiet and shy and desperately cute—but he also has a voice of steel, and is soon officiating all Alexis’s matches. Determined to make him snap, Alexis flirts aggressively—only to end up tied to a bed, doing everything he’s told and hating how much he loves it.
One assignation becomes another. And another. Alexis’s love of tennis has been invigorated and he’s playing better than ever, even though getting caught together would be a career-ending disgrace for a player and his umpire. Not to mention dragging both of their famous families into an unholy mess.
But Alexis’s feelings for Theo are fast getting out of hand, and what started out as a thrilling game of chicken soon becomes something Alexis may have to lose everything to protect.
