In the Kitchen (Paperback)

Two women. One court. An impossible choice.

Widowed novelist Jack Harrington can't write, can't sleep, can't escape the memory of his wife Anna. When pickleball gives him a reason to leave the house, he discovers an unexpected gift for the game and an undeniable connection with Iris, his fierce and beautiful partner.

Something strange happens every time he plays. Strategies appear in his mind. Opponents' weaknesses become visible. A familiar presence seems to guide every crucial point. The better he and Iris play together, the more insistent the mysterious interventions become.

As they advance toward nationals, Jack finds himself torn between the woman helping him heal and a force that won't let him go. Every match brings him closer to a truth that will challenge everything he believes about love, loss, and second chances.

In a sport where partners must move as one, Jack discovers that some connections transcend explanation.

Grab In the Kitchen and discover what happens when the heart refuses to stay in bounds. Will Jack step into the kitchen with Iris and risk it all? Or will the rules of the past keep him serving from the baseline forever?
