Those of you who are interested in publishing sports romance novels tend to look towards international authors. But Plaza & Janés has given the opportunity to a Spanish voice who has nothing to envy from the best there is out there. Are you ready to read it and take a chance on her?
In Tie-Break, the new story by Anna Farrés, everything takes off in the air: aboard a plane returning from Roland Garros. That’s where Dafne Fort, daughter of a tennis legend, meets Cristian Masdeu, a disgraced star. What starts with tension (that kind that sparks) ends in a misunderstanding and a broken promise. But that’s just the warm-up.
The novel moves like a great tennis match: with rhythm, unexpected twists, and a constant push and pull. When Cristian, desperate to relaunch his career, shows up at Héctor Fort’s home to ask him to be his coach, he doesn’t expect to run into Dafne again. Nor does she expect to have to live with the man who drove her crazy, and still makes her heart race.
Anna Farrés—who already captivated many readers under the pen name Eneida Wolf—once again proves she knows how to blend romantic tension with vibrant settings and characters with an interesting past. And this time, she does it with a luxurious backdrop: the professional tennis circuit, a world where there are few second chances, and where the characters are forced to race against the clock.
Tie-Break is not just a love story. It’s also a story of pride, reconciliation, desire, and ambition. A novel that reminds us that sometimes the best plays happen off the court—and that to succeed, you need to pay like it’s all or nothing.
A perfect read for those looking for a fast-paced, fun, emotional, story, filled with chemistry. Get ready to yell “Score!” more than once.
