Grass courts, tennis whites and the fiercest competition in the world.
Wimbledon. After two crazy weeks in Paris, the girls of the Outer Banks Tennis
Academy are headed to London with just one thing on their minds: winning.
Indiana Gaffney is fresh off a surprise win at the French Open junior
tournament. Sponsors are clamoring for her attention, but what she wants more
than anything—aside from a wild card to Wimbledon—is to be with Jack
Harrison, but international fame and a secret relationship rarely mix well.
When Penny Harrison dreamed of playing at Wimbledon she never imagined
agonizing pain shooting through her ankle with every step. With just a month
until the tournament and the whole world expecting her to win, she’s
determined to play, with or without the support of her coach or the love of her
life, Alex Russell.
For the first time ever, no one expects anything from Jasmine Randazzo. After a
crushing first-round defeat in the French Open juniors, the tennis world has
given up on her, but worse than that, so have her parents, her best friend Teddy
and maybe even her coach. With everyone writing her off, can she find it within
herself to go after her dreams?

Jennifer Iacopelli Bio:
Jennifer Iacopelli was born in New York and has no plans to leave...ever.
Growing up, she read everything she could get her hands on, but her favorite
authors were Laura Ingalls Wilder, L.M. Montgomery and Frances Hodgson
Burnett all of whom wrote about kick-ass girls before it was cool for girls to be
kick-ass. She got a Bachelor's degree in Adolescence Education and English
Literature quickly followed up by a Master's in Library Science, which lets her
frolic all day with her books and computers, leaving plenty of time in the
evenings to write and yell at the Yankees, Giants and her favorite tennis players
through the TV.
