Waterstones Liverpool - Jane Costello Launch Event for Forty Love

It is always our pleasure to welcome back Sunday Times best-selling author Jane Costello. This time we are honoured to be hosting the launch event - on publication day! - for Jane's fabulous new novel Forty Love

It's never too late for a comeback!

Single mum Jules lives next to a tennis club, but has no plans to play. Especially when her old school crush, handsome doctor Sam Delaney, returns thirty years after he left and is now displaying a killer forehand in direct view of her bedroom window.

But when she's hit by an unprecedented wave of anxiety - brought on by her 19-year-old daughter's solo trip around the world - she's in urgent need of a distraction and rashly agrees to join an amateur women's tennis team. They are desperate for players. The fact that she doesn't really play doesn't seem to matter . . .

As rallies are hit and friendships are formed, Jules is astonished to find herself in the grip of a passionate, all-consuming relationship . . . and not only with the tennis. But will these sexy encounters she keeps stumbling into with Sam put her on course to a devastating double fault?

Jane Costello is the Sunday Times bestselling author of 14 books, five of which were written under the name Catherine Isaac. Her books have been translated into 26 languages, selected by the Richard and Judy Book Club and she has won a Romantic Novelists' Award twice. She was born in Liverpool, where she still lives with her husband and three sons.
