PRE-ORDER THE SIZZLING NEW PICKLEBALL ROMANCE FROM THE AUTHOR OF PICKLEBALLERS! "Fans of
sports romances will delight in this flirty laugh-out-loud vacation romp!" Jessica James
author of For One Night Only Your latest obsession has arrived - it's time to pick up your
paddle and fight for romance. It's game set pickleball! 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
thirtysomething 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.... Praise for Ilana
