He broke her heart in high school. Now he’s breaking her serve. Your latest obsession has arrived - it's time to pick up your paddle and fight for romance. It's game, set, pickleball! ‘Fans of sports romances will delight in this flirty, laugh-out-loud vacation romp!’ Jessica James, author of For One Night Only A second chance at love crashes one woman’s tropical pickleball vacation and serves up an adorkably swoony romantic comedy. Lulu Gardner only takes predictable shots. After faulting on tennis stardom at eighteen, Lulu, now a thirty-something single parent, is in control of her game. But when an unanticipated blunder threatens her teaching job, Lulu’s stable, well-planned—okay, boring—world spins out. And somehow, her godparents convince her to join them for a “de-stressing” destination pickleball vacation in Costa Rica. Maybe an all-inclusive picklecation is just the pick-me-up she needs to loosen her grip. Or it would have been if she wasn’t backhanded by the sight of her high school fling Tyler Demming on the beachside courts. Fresh off the pickleball pro tour, the reigning bad boy of paddle sports is as studly and snarky as ever. Even though his public image took a hit with a ballsy publicity stunt, Tyler seems to be the big shot he’s always been. But Lulu’s had years to steel herself against his rugged good looks and hypnotic charm. Despite the changes she sees in Tyler since their teenage days, Lulu will have no problem keeping her head in the game and her heart on the sidelines. Or so she tells herself….
