When I was eleven, my family moved next door to his. When I was thirteen, he was my first crush. When I was sixteen, we fell for each other. And when I was nineteen, we broke each other’s hearts.
Six years later, I’ve landed an internship with a big-name interior designer in a new city. Unfortunately, that city just so happens to be the one he plays hockey for.
I thought Chicago was big enough to avoid him, until I get the surprise of a lifetime and unknowingly move in right next door. Even worse? The renovation project I’m assigned to in hopes of turning that internship into my full-time dream job...
It’s 𝘩𝘪𝘴 house.
But how am I supposed to update his bachelor pad into a family home when we can’t even stand to be in the same room?
I may have loved Rio DeLuca once, but I’m not that same girl anymore.

I never thought I’d be the only single one left in my friend group. But after years of trying to find love, I’ve concluded it may not exist for me anymore.
That is, until I accidentally hire Hallie Hart to renovate my house and our jaded history has me rewinding memories I’ve kept secret for years.
You see, there’s something that my friends don’t know.
That connection I’ve been looking for since I moved to Chicago, that one person some search their entire lives to find... I had already found her when I was twelve years old.
And now the only girl I’ve ever loved is moving into the house next door.
Again.

Windy City
10 books in catalog
Sports romance fiction featuring high-stakes athletic careers, realistic relationship dynamics, and emotional depth has gained widespread popular engagement, driven in large part by the Windy City series. Author Liz Tomforde stepped into contemporary romance writing with a focus on sports-centered narratives, blending workplace environments, found family themes, and playful banter with grounded personal conflicts. Her debut novel Mile High launched her career in contemporary sports romance, introducing readers to believable character growth alongside high-energy romance.
With books like The Right Move, Caught Up, Play Along, and Rewind It Back, Tomforde's popular series explores the personal lives and romantic pursuits of professional athletes and the women who cross their paths, securing prominent positions on major bestseller lists including the New York Times and USA Today.
Born and raised in Northern California as the youngest of five children, Tomforde developed an early passion for sports, romance novels, travel, and hockey. Before transitioning into full-time writing, she worked professionally as a flight attendant for a National Hockey League (NHL) team, a role that allowed her to combine her interest in aviation and professional athletics. 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. Her firsthand experiences with professional sports teams and travel culture continue to directly inform her setting details and character interactions.
Tomforde's writing is characterized by its emphasis on realistic, healthy emotional communication within romantic relationships. Her narratives frequently highlight strong heroines alongside male protagonists who combine outer confidence with emotional vulnerability. Essential thematic elements across her books include witty banter, undeniable chemistry, found family dynamics, and explicit romantic spice, while grounding the romantic progression in real-life struggles, personal growth, and mutual accountability.
