A decade ago, Simon Burnside retired from his career in professional tennis, leaving behind memories, teammates, and a younger player, Luca De Marchi, who had always looked up to him for reasons Simon can't quite fathom. Now working on his family farm in Yorkshire, tennis is the furthest thing from Simon's mind, until he hears word that Luca De Marchi has written a memoir about both his life as a closeted gay athlete and his great respect for Simon.

When Luca comes to town on a book tour, Simon takes the opportunity to delve back into his former life on the tennis court. But when Luca admits his admiration was always more than just professional, will Simon take the shot, or will he play it safe and lose a chance at love?
