Caught Up (Windy City, 3) by Liz Tomforde

A swoony, high-heat baseball romance where a guarded single dad pitcher is forced to accept help… from the one nanny he can’t fire. Caught Up is tender and addictive, mixing domestic “found home” moments with big chemistry—and the ticking clock of a summer that’s guaranteed to end.

Kai Rhodes is Chicago’s star starting pitcher and a single dad who’s running on empty. He doesn’t want help raising his son, and he’s proven it by cycling through nannies—each one gone within weeks. Now his coach has had enough and hires the one person Kai can’t dismiss: Miller Montgomery, the coach’s daughter.

Miller is the last woman Kai should fall for—too wild, too young, too unattached, and only in Chicago for a short stop. But what starts as a forced arrangement turns into something that feels dangerously like stability. Kai thought he’d be counting down the days until Miller leaves… until summer starts feeling too short when “temporary” begins to look like forever.

Meanwhile, Miller is a high-end pastry chef fresh off a major industry win—and terrified she can’t live up to it. She’s got two months to get her creativity back, and nannying was not the plan… but she says yes anyway. Miller wants to remind Kai how to have fun, yet the closer she gets to him and his son, the more it feels like home. The problem is she’s always been a runner—and she’s convinced getting caught is the one thing she can’t afford.
