❝This woman is truly in her own league in every sense of the phrase.❞

❝You might be my boss out there. But here, when we’re like this, I’ll be the one in charge.❞

❝What the hell are you doing to me?” 

I don’t hesitate. “Hopefully making you mine.” 

He lifts to look at me, eyes bouncing between my own. “Is that what you want?” 

“Yes. I’d really like to call you mine, Emmett.” 

“That’s good.” He kisses me softly. “That’s really good, Reese, because I’ve been yours for quite some time already. I’m glad you finally realized.❞

❝ How lucky am I to have found the person I love the most in the place I love the most.❞

❝ There’s something different about falling in love this time than when I did in my twenties. When I was young, finding love seemed like a rite of passage. A guarantee. A part of life everyone gets to experience and that it was simply my turn. But now, getting this chance with Reese, it’s filled with more gratitude that I somehow found it again. There’s more of a fight to hold on to it. More desperation to keep it. Love feels more sacred this time around because I didn’t think I’d get the chance to experience it again.❞

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.
