Play Along by Liz Tomforde is a fun, flirty, and emotional sports romance and the fourth book in the bestselling Windy City series, featuring a surprise marriage, workplace tension, and a slow-burn love story set in professional baseball. Kennedy Kay is the only woman on staff for Chicago’s baseball team, determined to keep her reputation spotless as she chases her dream job. But one wild night in Las Vegas leaves her with a hazy memory… and a wedding ring.
Isaiah Rhodes, the team’s charming and persistent shortstop, has had a crush on Kennedy for years. Waking up married to her feels like fate—especially when pretending their impulsive Vegas elopement was planned could help save her career. They strike a deal to stay married for one baseball season, keeping things strictly “temporary.” The problem? Living as husband and wife makes fake feelings feel very real.
As they navigate team politics, career pressure, and their undeniable chemistry, Kennedy struggles to maintain professional boundaries while Isaiah sets out to prove he’s more than the carefree athlete she thinks he is. What started as damage control becomes a heartfelt journey about trust, vulnerability, and taking a chance on love when you least expect it.
Perfect for fans of marriage of convenience, workplace romance, baseball love stories, slow-burn relationships, and strong female leads in sports fiction, Play Along delivers humor, heat, and emotional depth.
