In Her Own League

Reese Remington has spent her entire life preparing to step into the batter's box, but as the first female team owner in Major League Baseball, the crowd isn't cheering, they’re waiting for her to strike out. She has the sharp mind and the veteran experience to lead, but in a world that still smells like a locker room, she is viewed as an outsider occupying a man’s throne. Under a microscope and facing ruthless pressure to prove she belongs, Reese has a simple rule for the season: zero distractions.

That rule is immediately tested by the one man who refuses to follow her playbook.

Emmett Montgomery is baseball royalty, a former All-Star turned field manager who leads with his heart and treats the diamond like sacred ground. He’s used to calling the shots, and the last thing he wants is a "suit" telling him how to run his team, especially one who seems more interested in spreadsheets than stolen bases. But as the grueling schedule of away games forces them into close quarters, the "ice queen" facade begins to crack. Emmett starts to see the fire burning beneath Reese’s professional cool and the grit it takes to stand your ground when the whole world wants you to trip.

When their dugout arguments shift from heated banter to undeniable, skin-searing chemistry, the professional line doesn't just blur, it vanishes. Reese knows that a scandal with her manager is exactly the ammunition her critics need to ruin her career before the seventh-inning stretch. The smart play is to keep Emmett at arm’s length for the sake of the standings and her legacy.

But as the pennant race heats up, they’re discovering that staying away from each other is the one game neither of them has the heart to win.
