As the first female team owner in Major League Baseball, Reese Remington has spent her entire life preparing for this role.
With a sharp mind and years of experience working behind the scenes, she's more than qualified. But the public only sees a woman in a man's world - not the person who's earned their place on the field. Under constant scrutiny and pressure to prove herself, Reese can't afford distractions.
Especially one that comes in the form of the team's tempting field manager who questions her every decision. Emmett Montgomery is a former All-Star turned coach who treats his players like family and the field like home. After years of running the team his way, the last thing he wants is a new boss - let alone one who seems ice-cold and laser-focused on business.
But forced to spend long hours - and too many away games - side by side, he begins to see the fire beneath Reese's control, the heart behind her ambition and the unwavering determination to prove herself. When heated banter turns into sizzling chemistry, professional boundaries blur and the spark between them becomes impossible to resist. But Reese is constantly reminded of how many people are waiting for her to fail, and the safest move is to keep Emmett at arm's length - for the sake of the team, the season and her career.
But keeping their distance is one game neither of them can seem to win...

In 2020, when the global pandemic resulted in the postponement of the hockey season, Tomforde utilized her unexpected free time to begin drafting her first novel.
Living in her hometown in Sonoma County, California, Tomforde balances her writing career with her personal interests. When not crafting contemporary novels, she spends time traveling, listening to audiobooks, reading, and taking her Golden Retriever, Luke, on hikes through the Northern California landscape.
