Buy RIDE THE WAVE, the new sexy sports rom-com from Katherine Reilly, now!

Match Point is a spicy new sports rom-com, filled with sizzling chemistry and epic romance, perfect for fans of ICEBREAKER and THE FAKE OUT.

In tennis, love means nothing.

For two weeks, Wimbledon hosts the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world, and this year, everyone is talking about player Kieran O’Sullivan, the infamous bad boy of the sport with one last chance to win a Grand Slam.

Everyone, that is, except Flora Hendrix. Flora might live in Wimbledon, but she’s renting out her flat for the summer while she explores the fresh start she’s longing for. Except when Flora's plans unexpectedly fall through, the last thing she expects is her house guest to refuse to leave—especially when it’s none other than Kieran O’Sullivan.

Thrown together for the summer, sparks fly between Flora and Kieran. But will they let a few sparks distract them from finally following their dreams? Are they?

Perfect for fans of:

  • Enemies to lovers
  • Forced proximity
  • Sports romance
