Play Along

Kennedy Kay has spent her entire career as the only woman on the Windy City Warriors’ staff, enduring years of professional hurdles to secure her dream job. With only one season left in Chicago, her top priority is maintaining a spotless reputation, a goal that goes up in flames after a hazy night in Las Vegas ends with a wedding ring on her finger. To save her career from the fallout of a drunken mistake, she is forced into a high-stakes scheme by the team’s impulsive and frustratingly charming shortstop, Isaiah Rhodes: they must convince the world their "I dos" were a long-planned elopement rather than a Sin City accident.

Isaiah has been harboring a massive crush on the team’s athletic trainer for years, but his flirting has always struck out. Waking up married to the woman of his dreams is the ultimate stroke of luck, even if she views their union as a temporary legal disaster. While Kennedy is counting down the days until they can quietly part ways after the baseball season, Isaiah is playing the long game. He’s determined to use their mandatory time together to prove he’s more than just a reckless athlete and is, in fact, permanent husband material. Kennedy might be a reluctant player in their fake marriage, but Isaiah has no intention of losing the most important game of his life.
