There's No Love in Pickleball...
Forty and finally divorced, Celeste Knowles is free to be true to herself...If only she knew who that was. When she's forced to attend her ex's lavish wedding, Celeste decides it's the perfect time to move on-in the banquet hall closet, no less.
But after panicking and running out on her mustachioed stranger, Celeste realizes she needs to start smaller. Maybe pick up an old hobby. Work up to the wild sex with strangers.
Hayden Holstrom, her new pickleball coach, is infuriatingly charming, distractingly handsome-and young-and his easy smile feels suspiciously familiar.
But Hayden has secrets of his own. He's falling hard for the shy, crossword-loving divorcee, and he's desperate for a chance to prove their connection is more than a fleeting memory. Can he convince Celeste to risk her heart again, especially when the odds are against them?
The ball is in her court...

Critical Reviews
"What stood out most to me was how empowering this story felt. It's not just a love story-it's a story about starting over, about realising you can still chase joy, ambition and passion, no matter your age or circumstances. It's funny, heartfelt and quietly inspiring, reminding you that it's never too late to begin again. If you enjoy uplifting, character-driven romances with mature protagonists, emotional depth and a touch of sport, I'd absolutely recommend this one. It's the perfect feel-good read for anyone who loves stories about second chances and self-discovery." - Becka, NetGalley review
"This was such a great book! I loved the chemistry between the characters. It was such a great book to show there is life after divorce and turning 40. The heat, chemistry, and overall vibes were fire. Highly enjoyed." - Jill, Librarian, NetGalley review
