Can a down-on-her-luck princess really have it all?
A whisper away from thirty, gorgeous Tess Hamilton has been the tennis world's top titleholder and celebrity since she won her first championship at fifteen. Now the headline-making party girl is getting her first taste of mortality-thanks to new teenage phenom, Gabrielle Fontaine. But it's Gaby's cool, calm, and all-too-collected brother and manager, Max, who really has Tess seeing double. He's the first man she can't seem to seduce-or intimidate.

It seems that Tess is going to hit the courts in a whole new way, to prove to the world-and herself-that a woman with the heart of a champion can ace life and love-even after the big 3-0....
An enlightening and entertaining look at how we use gestures, both conciously and unconciously, to communicate our true intent and feelings. Written with the layperson in mind. I highly recommend this book to everyone, especially those writers out there!
