Play Along

Play Along by Liz Tomforde weaves a tantalising tale of unexpected romance and professional drama set against the backdrop of major league baseball. Kennedy Kay is determined to uphold her reputation as the only female athletic trainer for the Windy City Warriors, a role that demands both competence and decorum. However, her disciplined life takes a dramatic turn during a trip to Las Vegas, leaving her with a foggy memory, an unexpected husband, and a glittering ring on her finger.

Isaiah Rhodes, the team's magnetic and impulsive shortstop, has secretly admired Kennedy for years. But waking up beside her in Sin City with a wedding band comes as a complete shock. Kennedy's career hangs in the balance, so the two concoct a plan to keep their sudden marriage a secret and make it appear deliberate – at least for one baseball season.

Isaiah is determined to turn their temporary arrangement into a home run. He sees their forced closeness as the perfect opportunity to win Kennedy's heart for real. Yet, while Isaiah is willing to play his part to perfection, Kennedy remains cautious, questioning whether this reckless decision could lead to genuine love.

As the months roll on, the chemistry between them sizzles both on and off the field. Kennedy, who once prided herself on maintaining distance from her emotions, finds herself warming to Isaiah's charm and steadfast determination. But this game of make-believe becomes more complicated as personal and professional boundaries blur.

Kennedy

I'm the only woman on staff for the Windy City Warriors baseball team, and have to maintain my professional reputation. But a Las Vegas run-in with the team's shortstop threatens everything, leaving me with a fuzzy memory and a ring on my left hand.

Isaiah Rhodes is reckless, impulsive, and frustratingly charming. He's also my brand-new husband. And to save my job, I have to pretend the whole thing was planned – the real deal.

They got the saying wrong. What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas... sometimes it follows you right back home.

Isaiah

Kennedy might be reluctant to join in on our game, but it's one I refuse to lose. So come on, wife... play along.
