Summary
“I heard from our Information Technological Services department that you haven’t even attempted to complete your North Pole Net onboarding, which several members of the board of Elvian Partridges find horrifically…”
Frank let the annoying, high strung sound of the elf’s voice fade out, just like he did when a medical sales rep visited the emergency department.
Well, he wanted to say, perhaps you should’ve tried harder in your campaign and not approved to anoint the guy minutes post rehab as the ultimate harbinger of Christmases past, present, and future. Seems like a you problem.

Summary
Reluctant mixed-doubles specialist Mel King encounters a kindred spirit on the U.S. Open practice courts: Frank Langdon, the golden boy of the ATP. Their connection strengthens over a charmed week of tournament play, until it’s abruptly shattered by devastating news: Frank’s doping scandal.
Six months later, Mel’s life looks nothing like she imagined. She’s retired from the tour. Her partner has left. Her coach (and mother) is dead. Money is scarce and her sister’s health insurance is a bureaucratic labyrinth. By day, she coaches peewee players and weekend warriors to stay afloat; by night, she studies for the MCAT. Tennis, she tells herself, is over. It’s time to move on.
Then disgraced Frank Langdon walks into her tennis club—accompanied by his coach, Michael Robinavitch—with an offer Mel never expected… and can’t refuse.

Summary
He’d been everything to her. She’d been the girl he forgot the moment Abby’s dad died—the moment they’d had to move closer to Abby’s mother in LA.
She’d be, at best, a footnote in that book.
or, Frank publishes a memoir.
