A positively dill-ightful MM pickleball novella about finding your family, your purpose, and your happy ending.

Welcome to Cold Water, Michigan. Population: 816.

Milo Van Der Meer never expected to be twenty-five and living in a small town with his grandma. Yet, when his parents went to prison for fraud, he was the only one left to take care of her. He spends most of his days surrounded by children and his afternoons at the only gym within a twenty-mile radius. He feels trapped—no social life, no friends, and no dating prospects. That is until he runs into one of his students and her grumpy dad.

Benny Miller cares about three things: his daughter, his gym, and his best friend. Everyone else can mind their damn business. When Milo literally stumbles into his life, Benny doesn’t know what to do with the handsome pickleball enthusiast. Should he give him a job? Befriend him? Kiss him? His head is swimming with possibilities and his heart is slowly making room for another person.

Will the grumpy gym owner finally let his guard down and meet the sunshine teacher on the pickleball court?
