For the past two years Belinda has been focusing on writing novels: Looking for George, a circuitous love story, based loosely on real life, and her latest book Mixed Doubles, a bouncy rom-com set in a quintessentially English lawn tennis club. This has just been published on Amazon in both ebook and print formats.
MIXED DOUBLES
The sun is shining and it’s time for tennis down at Lower Wallop Lawn Tennis Club, where no-one plays by the rules – either on or off court.
Pretty Emma is mad about the game and even madder about Gorgeous George, the unavailable club chairman. Boring Brian, the baseline slogger, is wildly in love with fragile Diana, wife of the philandering Oliver Pemberton-Jones. But Oliver is rather more interested in the pillowy lips and willowy legs of Lower Wallop’s newest member, Beautiful Bea.
A new mixed doubles ladder cranks up the tension between all the male and female players, but will it be game, set and match by the end of the summer?
Will Oliver have his evil way with Bea? Will Diana finally desert her unfaithful brute of a husband? And will Emma find love beyond her passion for tennis?
Grab your racket and lace up your tennis shoes. Mixed Doubles is as gripping as a Wimbledon final and has more bounce than a tube of Babolat balls!
