There's No Love in Pickleball…

Forty and finally free, Celeste Knowles is determined 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. But can he convince Celeste to risk her heart again, especially when the odds are against them?

The ball is in her court...

Love and Pickleball is a swoon-worthy, small town romance in which a pickleball coach with a secrets falls for the sexy, crossword-obsessed, single mom looking to reinvent herself after years of putting everyone else first. It has five integrated crossword puzzles, spicy scenes, a lovable and quirky small town cast, and a dill-ightfully satisfying happily ever after.
Every book in the Salmon Bay series can be read as a standalone.
