Dinking Around

A Pickleball Romcom

De: Sarah Yarrow

Her job is to destroy his club. His mission is to save it. Too bad she's impossible to resist.

Maria Federov is a ruthless overachiever on a mission: build the Coquina Grand's new pickleball club into the hottest destination court on the Gulf Coast, then use that triumph to launch her back to the major markets she belongs in. Get in, build the thing, move on. It's the plan that's never failed her.

Christian Bacca is the warm-hearted, fiercely protective co-founder of the Florida Smash Club, a scrappy waterfront court that's been the social hub of Saltgrass Key for four years. He knows exactly who Maria is—he watched her kind come to this island before, saw them polish everything that made it real, then leave. He's not losing his club to a corporate resort that treats the island like a stepping stone.

Except Maria isn't leaving. When she keeps showing up at the FSC courts—teaching his friends, charming his community, tearing down his carefully built defenses with dry humor and a smile that catches him off guard—Christian realizes his biggest problem isn't the rival club. It's her.

Maria's always been good at running. She's never been good at staying. And when the promotion of her dreams arrives in the form of a sleek Tampa opportunity, she has to choose: the ambition that's defined her entire life, or the scrappy island club and the man who finally made her want to stop dinking around and take the real shot.

From the author of Big Dink Energy comes the second book in the Florida Smash Club series—a fast-paced, funny, and flirty enemies-to-lovers romance about commitment, community, and why sometimes the best victories are the ones you didn't see coming.
