Win, Lose or Die — Diane Hoh

For new recruit Nicki, college tennis becomes a match to the death

A scholarship to college is what every high school student dreams about. But for military brat Nicki Bledsoe, who's changed schools eight times over twelve years, a tennis scholarship to Salem University means having to prove herself all over again. It doesn't help that Nicki gets a far-from-warm welcome from Libby DeVoe, the school's reigning tennis star. The fiercely competitive Libby seems intent on making Nicki's life miserable.

Someone writes “go away, loser” in hair mousse on Nicki's locker. A tire on her car is slashed. Her lucky tennis racket is destroyed. It has to be Libby . . . right? Nicki is determined to prove that she doesn't scare so easily . . . but it's already too late. Her enemy has put a plan in motion to beat Nicki in a terrifying game -- and losing means certain death.
