A fake relationship, a forbidden crush, and one seriously scandalous paddle tournament...
Welcome back to Willow Ridge, where the drinks are strong, the skirts are short, and no one survives a fake-date plan unscathed 💃🍹🔥

Emery Quinn is newly divorced, emotionally unavailable, and completely over love.
What she’s not over? Her ex flaunting his Barbie clone fiancée all over the country club.

Lachlan Maddox has dimples, discipline issues, and exactly one rule: no falling for best friend’s sisters.
Too bad Emery’s in heels and hell-bent on making her ex jealous.

They fake date.
They fake flirt.
Then they fake-make-out behind the Tiki Bar… and forget how to stop 😏🍑

Suddenly, it’s late-night practices, whispered confessions, and paddle-side tension hotter than a summer heatwave.
But when feelings sneak in through the back door—and the brother finds out—everything’s at risk.

Especially their hearts 💘

A sizzling small-town romcom with: • Fake dating + real emotions
• Best friend’s sister tension
• One bed (and no chill)
• Pickleball with innuendos
• A tux, a mic drop, and one perfect public grovel 🎤💕
