They're playing for keeps …

Brooke Murphy has hit a creative block after a messy breakup, and she’s on the hunt for something – or someone – to provide steamy inspiration for her trope-tastic romance novels.

So when a pickleball match promises fresh inspiration in the form of Manhattan’s most competitive finance bros, it’s game on. She just needs to learn how to play – and fast.

Enter coach Owen Miller, AKA The Big Gripper. Grumpy and totally offbeat in his bucket hat and flip-flops, he agrees to teach Brooke how to play to impress.

But soon, the only thing they’re playing for is each other…
