Caught Up by Liz Tomforde is a heartfelt and swoony sports romance and the third book in the fan-favorite Windy City series, blending single dad charm, forced proximity, and summer love in the world of professional baseball. Kai Rhodes is Chicago’s star MLB pitcher and a devoted single father doing everything on his own. Burned out but stubbornly independent, he’s gone through nanny after nanny—until his coach hires someone Kai can’t fire: his daughter.
Miller Montgomery is a talented pastry chef riding the pressure of recent success and creative burnout. Chicago is only a temporary stop while she regains her spark, and nannying wasn’t part of her life plan. But living under the same roof as the serious, overworked athlete and his sweet young son pulls her into a world she didn’t expect. Miller brings warmth, chaos, and laughter into Kai’s carefully controlled life, reminding him how to live—not just work.
What begins as an inconvenient arrangement turns into something deeper as summer days blur into stolen moments and growing feelings. But Miller has always been someone who leaves before things get too real, and Kai isn’t sure he can survive another loss. As their bond strengthens, they must decide whether love is worth changing their carefully built plans.
Perfect for fans of single dad romance, baseball love stories, forced proximity, emotional slow burn, and found family themes, Caught Up delivers humor, heart, and unforgettable chemistry.
