This Christmas, could the boy she left behind now be the man she was always meant to love?
Morgan Shoemaker’s last summer before leaving for college was filled with books, writing, and an exciting first love with Charlie Welch—until life pulled them apart.
Now, ten years later on Christmas Eve, Morgan is back at Whisper Hills Country Club, escaping a painful breakup and expecting a quiet holiday alone. Instead, a splash from an overexcited Labrador leads to a reunion with the boy who stole her heart… and who is now very much a man. From the moment their eyes meet, the years between them seem to disappear.
A day of teasing, shared memories, and tender confessions under the desert sky leaves Morgan wondering if she ever truly stopped loving Charlie. And a huge question lingers between them both: what if?
When the holiday ends, will they go back to separate lives—or take a chance on love again?
Brimming with small-town charm, sparkling banter, and the heartwarming hope of second chances, A Pickleball Girl’s Second Chance Christmas is a feel-good holiday romance about the kind of love that lingers—and the courage it takes to believe in it again.
For readers who love second-chance romance, holiday sparkle, and heartfelt happily-ever-afters, A Pickleball Girl’s Second Chance Christmas delivers a closed-door romantic escape with festive desert charm and an evening with a mischievous yellow Labrador.
