Little Braids of Love

In tennis, love means nothing. In life, it means everything.

Karenina "Nina" Sumer has always been the quiet girl in the background: shy, bookish, and used to being overlooked. In a town where the sun burns bright and tennis reigns supreme, she's content as a silent witness to the lives swirling around her. She never thought of herself as someone who could stand at the center of anyone's world.

Then there's Sabino Alvarez: charming, ambitious, and on the path to becoming a tennis star. Tennis is his life, his future, and his entire world... or so he thought. Until his gaze drifts to Nina, perched in her window seat, noticing her in ways he never has before.

As the days turn into golden evenings, the scent of bougainvillea lingers in the air, and the steady thud of tennis balls echoes through the streets, the sun-drenched town of Palmera Viva in Murcia, Spain, sets the stage for a slow-burn romance about first love, longing, and the quiet moments that change everything. Between stolen glances, tangled emotions, and the push and pull of growing up, Nina and Sabino must learn what it truly means to love and to be loved in return.
