The Big Dink: A grumpy sunshine, enemies to lovers, slow burn sports romance

I signed up for pickleball to make one man notice me. I did not sign up to fall for his best friend.

Alecia has a plan: learn to play, look cute doing it, and finally get Garrett—the spreadsheet-obsessed coworker she's been not-so-secretly pining over—to see her as more than the girl across the hall.

One small problem. She's never held a paddle in her life.

Enter Calder. Grumpy. Sarcastic. Infuriatingly good at everything. He corrects her grip, calls her bluff, and wins every argument before she's caught her breath. And he happens to be Garrett's best friend, which makes him her only source of insider intel.

By the third lesson, the plan is working. Garrett's finally noticing her. So why can't she stop replaying the things Calder said? Why does his scowl feel like a dare?

She came for the crush. She's leaving with a problem no spreadsheet can fix.

A quick, one-sitting rom-com. Grumpy/sunshine, closed-door, and all banter.

Book one of the Smash Point Social Club.
