Description

The explosive, highly anticipated contemporary romance masterpiece from Liz Tomforde, the undisputed queen of sports romance and #1 international bestselling author of Mile High, The Right Move, and Caught Up! In Her Own League is a brilliantly written, fast-paced, and intensely addictive sports romance that perfectly balances the high-pressure stakes of professional sports management with a scorching, high-steam slow-burn chemistry. Packed with razor-sharp witty banter, workplace tension, and deep emotional vulnerability, this unputdownable book delivers a spectacular corporate rivals-to-lovers story that will keep you glued to the page until the very last sentence.

Reese Remington is used to fighting for respect, but now she is operating in a league entirely of her own. As the historic first female team owner in Major League Baseball, Reese has spent her entire life working behind the scenes, developing a calculated, sharp mind that makes her more than qualified to run a franchise under pressure. Yet, the public and the media only see a woman trespassing in a traditional man’s world—refusing to acknowledge the years of hard work she put in to earn her place on the field. Under constant media scrutiny and immense structural pressure to prove herself, Reese cannot afford a single personal distraction. Especially not one that comes in the form of the team’s tempting, deeply frustrating field manager who actively questions her every executive decision.

Emmett Montgomery is a legendary former All-Star player turned elite coach who treats his baseball roster like family and the diamond like his true home. After years of successfully running the team his way, the absolute last asset he wants is a new corporate boss—let alone an ice-cold, business-minded woman who seems laser-focused on bottom-line numbers rather than the spirit of the game. They are textbook polar opposites. But forced into close quarters over long hours, grueling travel schedules, and too many high-stakes away games side by side, Emmett’s stubborn defenses begin to fracture. Beneath Reese’s calculated, controlled exterior, he begins to see a fierce fire, a deep heart behind her ambition, and an unwavering determination to succeed against all odds.

When their heated, adversarial banter ignites into a sizzling, unputdownable physical chemistry, the strict professional boundaries protecting their careers completely combust. Every look and shared moment in the dugout becomes impossible to resist. But with the global sports media waiting for her to make a single mistake, Reese knows that keeping Emmett at a safe distance is the only tactical move to protect the team, the season, and her hard-earned career. But when authentic desire and protective devotion enter the equation, keeping their distance is one high-performance game neither of them can seem to win.

Masterfully executing the sports romance, workplace/forbidden love, billionaire female owner/coach dynamic, forced proximity, and grumpy-meets-sunshine tropes, In Her Own League delivers an atmospheric, high-energy comfort read. Brimming with Liz Tomforde’s signature psychological depth, unforgettable dual-POV tension, and raw emotional healing, this premium Hodder & Stoughton paperback edition—featuring a cover exclusive to The Works—is an essential, mandatory masterpiece for your personal contemporary romance collection.
