In Her Own League (A Windy City Series Spinoff) by Liz Tomforde

A sharp, swoony sports romance about a woman making history—and the one man who makes it hardest to keep her guard up. In Her Own League brings big MLB stakes, smart career-driven ambition, and that delicious slow-burn friction when two people who both need control keep getting thrown into the same dugout.

Reese Remington didn’t luck into becoming the first female owner in Major League Baseball—she earned it. She’s experienced, prepared, and ready to lead… but the public is waiting for her to slip. With critics circling and the spotlight blazing, Reese can’t afford distractions—especially not the team’s infuriatingly attractive field manager, who challenges her at every turn.

Emmett Montgomery is a former All-Star turned coach who lives for the game and protects his players like family. He’s used to running the field his way, so a new boss who seems all ice and spreadsheets feels like trouble. But long hours, away games, and too much forced proximity start peeling back Reese’s cool control—revealing fire, heart, and a relentless drive to prove she belongs.

As banter turns into chemistry, the professional line starts to blur. Reese knows people are rooting for her to fail, and keeping Emmett at arm’s length is the safest play—for the team, the season, and her career. The problem? Distance is one game neither of them can seem to win.
