A cozy, small town sports romance.
Salmon Bay, Book 1
There’s No Love in Pickleball…
Forty and finally divorced, Celeste Knowles is free to be true to herself…If only she knew who that was. Forced to attend her ex’s wedding, Celeste decides that is the perfect time to move on—in the banquet hall closet, no less.
But after panicking and running out on her mustachioed stranger, Celeste realizes she needs to start smaller. Maybe pick up an old hobby. Work up to the wild sex with strangers.
Hayden Holstrom, her new pickleball coach, is infuriatingly charming, distractingly handsome—and young—and his easy smile feels suspiciously familiar.
But Hayden has secrets of his own. He’s falling hard for the shy, crossword-loving divorcee, and he’s desperate for a chance to prove their connection is more than a fleeting memory. But can he convince Celeste to risk her heart again, especially when the odds are against them?
The ball is in her court…
Love and Pickleball is a spicy, small town, sports romance featuring a cinnamon roll pickleball coach who falls for the sexy crossword-obsessed older woman. It has graphic spice, a lovable and quirky cast, and a dill-ightfully satisfying happily ever after. Every book in the Salmon Bay series can be read as a standalone. Available in ebook and print.
“I loved how this book explored just about everything. Personal issues, friendship, family issues. I love the mature protagonists because it allowed everything to be much more emotional but handled maturely. “

“A fun, sweet, and spicy sports romance. An older, divorced FMC with grown kids; a younger, allegedly nerdy (but still swoon-worthy) green flag MMC. The supportive kind of family and friends that everyone needs in their life to save them from their evil exes! Delightful writing, good banter and several legit crossword puzzles worked in.
