He’s a former pickleball champion determined to protect the game he loves.

She’s an influencer determined to make the world fall in love with it.

After a career-ending injury, Carter Bennett returns home to Quidi Vidi, Newfoundland, to coach at the struggling Harbour Paddle Club. It’s only a temporary stop while he plots his return to the professional circuit. Until then, he’ll do anything to save the club…except turn it into a social media circus.

Then Sunnie Haller takes over.

With five million followers and enough sunshine to light up the Atlantic coast, the club’s new owner knows little about pickleball—but everything about building a community.

As memberships soar, sponsors come calling, and their clashes ignite an undeniable attraction, Carter discovers there’s more to Sunnie than the woman behind the camera. And Sunnie finds a heart beneath the grumpy coach’s scowl.

But when Carter’s past comes calling, he must choose between the champion he was and the woman who believes in the coach he’s become.

Sometimes the hardest deal to break is the one you’ve made with yourself.
