Match Point by Katherine Reilly (Paperback)

Summer arrives in London, and Wimbledon becomes the centre of attention as the world watches the biggest tournament in tennis. Kieran O’Sullivan steps onto the courts knowing this may be his final chance to claim a Grand Slam. His reputation follows him everywhere, and expectations rise with each match. Away from the stadium lights, Flora Hendrix has her own plans. She has decided to rent out her flat for the summer and take time to find a new direction in life.

When her arrangements collapse without warning, Flora returns home expecting an empty flat. Instead, she finds Kieran refusing to move out. His stay was booked in good faith, and he intends to keep it. Forced to share the space, they begin circling each other with equal parts frustration and curiosity.

As the weeks pass, tension grows. Flora tries to stay focused on building the future she wants, while Kieran pushes himself to stay sharp for the tournament. Their goals seem simple, until their growing connection starts to get in the way. London’s summer heat and the intensity of Wimbledon only add to the pull neither of them can ignore.

With both chasing long-held dreams, they must decide whether the spark between them is a distraction or something worth taking a chance on. Their choices could shift the direction of their lives far beyond the tournament.
