For Cynthia Knightley, she thought she had it all: a good job and a loving boyfriend. But those two things were ripped away from her in the most brutal way, and on her twentieth birthday. 

Down on her luck, Cynthia finds herself homeless with her belongings by her side in a suitcase as she tries to numb the pain of betrayal at the bar. However, a chance encounter with tennis prodigy, Sinacore Williams, changes the course of her life. 

After she saves him from two mystery men trying to sabotage his career, they spend one passionate night together that leads to a slew of events she never thought were possible. When the media learns of the pair leaving a hotel together, Sinacore makes Cynthia a deal—they start a fake relationship, and in return, he will give her a job on his team. 

The more time Cynthia spends with Sinacore, the more their connection deepens, in more ways than one, and they’re forced to face many hurdles together.

Will the pair stick to the terms of the contract? Or will they give into their desires?

My Tennis Prince Mate

“You cannot outrun the past. It always catches up with you. Eventually.”


My seventh-grade teacher Mrs. McCarthy used to say these words. She used to explain in detail how someone’s past influenced their present, thereby impacting their future as well.


I had always tried to grapple with its meaning but could never fully understand it. Until my mother turned up at my doorstep without a warning and upended my carefully reconstructed life.


That night, I began to comprehend the meaning of those words uttered by Mrs. McCarthy.


All I had ever intended to do since leaving home at the age of seventeen was to forget the past. To forget those associated with my past. Every step, and every breath I had taken since then had been a concerted effort to run away and pretend that my past didn’t exist anymore.
