30 - Love - Paperback

by Monica E. Simmons (Author)

Charlie Valdez is living her dreams. In addition to the success of her Dallas specialty boutique, Charlotte's Closet, the tall, curvy model is also proud to be breaking down barriers for women in the fashion industry.

As her thirtieth birthday approaches, she finds herself slipping into an uncharacteristic funk. Uncertain if it's turning the big 3-0 or doubts about her boyfriend, Jack Vaughn, that's bringing her down, Charlie turns to tennis to beat the blues.

When she arrives at Renner Sports and Racquet Club and meets the club's incredibly handsome new tennis pro, Drake Winstead, Charlie believes she knows his type. Thinking he may be trouble, she warns her sister Ceilia to keep a professional distance from the sexy athlete.

Unable to heed her own advice, Charlie develops a friendship with Drake and realizes she's judged him unfairly based on his appearance.

With her heart on the line, Charlie learns she can't be true to any man without first being honest with herself.
