The Big Dink

They say the fastest way to a man's heart is through his paddle…

Alecia Monroe is bubbly, competitive, and has a flair for big ideas. Griffin-her charming, sporty office crush-loves three things. Spreadsheets, Pilot Precise V5 pens, and pickleball. So when the cute blond in the office next to his suggests a weekly company pickleball night, Alecia does what any rational woman would do.

She lies about knowing how to play.

A few private lessons at a club across town should be enough to bluff her way through. She played tennis in high school-how hard can it be?

But her plan unravels when her sweet instructor gets injured, and his replacement is Calder. He's grumpy, sarcastic, condescending, and clearly not a fan of beginners. Or maybe just not a fan of her.

Then Calder shows up at the office pickleball night and exposes every weak spot in her game in front of all her colleagues.
