Dink Happens

A Pickleball Romcom

By: Sarah Yarrow

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Six years ago, Bex Callahan left Saltgrass Key and the love of her life behind.

Now she's back for her best friend's wedding—six days on the island where everything fell apart, where Cole Hargrove still captains charter boats and somehow looks even better than she remembers.

When a photographer mistakes them for still-together and Bex panics, blurting "Still us" before her brain catches up, she's stuck in a lie. Just a little fake dating for the wedding week. What could go wrong?

Everything, as it turns out.

Because faking it with Cole means pickleball lessons where she's aggressively terrible, his hand on her back at rehearsal dinners, late-night conversations that feel dangerously real, and the growing certainty that the lie might be the truest thing she's ever said.

Between a judgmental pelican named Gerald, an alligator named Gary who's determined to ruin the tournament, and a group chat that won't stop roasting them, Bex has six days to figure out if second chances are real—or if she's about to lose him all over again.

Perfect for fans of witty contemporary romance, small-town charm, and sports that nobody takes seriously.
