This book is not about tennis or a tennis player. It is about police officer Wendy Lynn Kotter, known as Kotter by her friends. Kotter is assigned as the primary security officer for Allie de Ville while in town for an off-circuit tennis tournament sponsored by Alie's father.

While being teased about her assignment by her commanding officer, Randie, Kotter's thoughts turn to her past. First, she thinks of losing her virginity to softball player Shamorock. Then she thinks of her first real "love," student teacher and olympic softball player Jaws. The first 2/3 of the book mainly focuses on these relationships and Kotter's coming into her own.

This leads back into the main story of the book... the tennis star. Kotter seems to have a way with atheletes and Alie is no exception. While protecting the star, Kotter is also involved in helping solve an attack on Alie's father. Trying to remain professional drains the cop because she is unquestionably drawn to the athelete, and the reverse is also true. On top of it all, Alie ALWAYS gets what Alie wants...

It's all a tangled web, but this book is very well written and easy to follow. Recommended, even if you're not a fan of sports, tennis, or mysteries.
