Smash Point Social Club

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.

Talk about mixed doubles... Justin's ex is on the executive team for the pickleball tournament series he's hosting. And she's bringing her new celebrity boyfriend on the tour. He needs a doubles partner off the court-stat. Enter Sam: prickly, private, and the last person you'd expect to agree to fake date anyone. But she's got a killer poker face, a solid paddle grip, and zero interest in real romance. Which makes her the perfect fake girlfriend. The plan? Keep it casual. Fake some chemistry. Win the off-court competition for best couple. But between their kitchen banter, flirty foot faults, and steamy fake kisses, lines are blurring fast. Now they're stuck in close quarters on the tournament tour, dinking around with fake feelings that might not be so fake...
