RYAN

She’s a distraction, that’s what she is.

I’m the newest Captain of the Devils, Chicago’s NBA team, and the last thing I needed this year was for Indy Ivers, my sister’s best friend, to move into my apartment. She’s messy, emotional, and way too tempting.

But when the team’s General Manager vocalizes his blatant disapproval of my promotion to Captain, referring to me as an unapproachable lone wolf with no work-life balance, I can’t think of a better way to convince him otherwise than pretending to date my outgoing roommate.

The only problem? Faking it feels far too natural.

Having a fake girlfriend wasn’t supposed to be messy but having Indy under my roof and in my bed is complicated, especially when she wants all the romantic parts of life that I could never give her.


INDY

I never imagined I’d be living with my best friend’s brother, NBA superstar Ryan Shay. Even more unbelievable? He needs me to act as his loving girlfriend who’s suddenly changed him into a friendly and approachable guy.

Because, well…he’s not. He’s controlling of his space and untrusting of others.

Our arrangement isn’t one-sided, though. I’m in a wedding coming up, one where every one of my childhood friends, including my ex-boyfriend, will be in attendance, and there’s no better date than my ex’s celebrity hero.

Blurred lines make it almost impossible to separate real from fake. Falling for my roommate was never part of the deal, especially when Ryan is quick to remind me that he doesn’t believe in love.

I’m a romantic and can’t help fantasizing that he’ll change, but soon enough, I find myself questioning if sharing a roof with my best friend’s brother was the right move after all

Windy City #2

The Right Move

Zanders

Chicago hockey isn’t complete without me—everyone’s favorite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night.

What I don’t like is the new flight attendant on our team’s private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I’ll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she’ll be begging to quit her job.

But every road trip blurs the lines, and I can’t quite figure out if I keep pushing that flight attendant call button in order to push her buttons or if it’s more than that.

Stevie

I’ve been a flight attendant for years. I thought I’d see it all, but when my new job lands me onboard working for the most egotistical and self-righteous diva in the NHL, I start to second guess everything. Including the promise I made to myself of never hooking up with an athlete again…no matter how annoyingly tempting he may be.

Evan Zanders is unfiltered, unapologetic, and too attractive for his own good. He loves his image, but I hate everything about it.

Everything but him.

Windy City #1

Mile High

Kai I'm a single dad and starting pitcher for Chicago's MLB team. I'm stretched too thin, but I don't want help raising my son. Each of his previous nannies only lasted a few weeks before I let them go. Now, my coach is putting his foot down by hiring the one person I can't fire-his daughter.
Miller Montgomery is the last woman I should fall for.
Too wild, too young, and too unattached. Chicago is just a quick stop for her. I thought I'd be counting down the days until she left, but summer feels too short when I start thinking about forever. Miller As a high-end pastry chef who recently won the most prestigious award in my industry, I'm desperate to prove I deserve it. But with a new title comes new pressure, and I can't create a fresh and inspiring dessert to save my life. With only two months to get back on track, I should be focusing in the kitchen, but instead, I let my dad talk me into using my time off to nanny for his star player's kid. Kai Rhodes forgot how to have fun, and I'm eager to jog his memory. But when he and his son start to feel like home, I have to remind us both that my time in Chicago ends with the summer. Besides, I've always been a runner, and the last thing I want is to get caught.

Play Along

ELI This is it. My senior year. My last shot to get called up to play in the National Hockey League. This season is about me. Though every season is about me. I'm the captain of my university's hockey team-the top scorer both on and off the ice-and everyone on campus knows my name. I feel the pressure every single day. I can't afford to get distracted. At least, that's what I keep reminding myself because my mind keeps straying to a certain redhead-my brother's best friend. She is nothing like I had expected. She's beautiful, smart, and too sweet for her own good. But I can't think about her. This is the year to focus on myself and my dream. I need to be selfish like I always am. So, why can't I get her out of my head? LOGAN This year is all about me. I've never put myself first, but for once, I'm going to. I'm in a new city, at a new school, and with my best friend. Everything will be different here. Minnesota is a fresh start for me-I can finally leave my past behind. I don't have to think about anyone else. I shouldn't be thinking about anyone else. Except I've finally met my best friend's brother. He's tall, athletic, and the most gorgeous man I've ever laid eyes on. He's sex on legs and charming as hell. His reputation, though? A glaring red flag, telling me to stay away. But no matter what I do, I just can't stop thinking about him...

Becoming Selfish

HALLIE When I was eleven, my family moved next door to his. When I was thirteen, he was my first crush. When I was sixteen, we fell for each other.
And when I was nineteen, we broke each other's hearts. Six years later, l've landed an internship with a big-name interior designer in a new city.
Unfortunately, that city just so happens to be the one he plays hockey for. I thought Chicago was big enough to avoid him, until I get the surprise of a lifetime and unknowingly move in right next door.
Even worse? The renovation project I'm assigned to in hopes of turning that internship into my full-time dream job... It's his house. But how am I supposed to update his bachelor pad into a family home when we can't even stand to be in the same room? I may have loved Rio DeLuca once, but I'm not that same girl anymore. RIO I never thought l'd be the only single one left in my friend group. But after years of trying to find love, l've concluded it may not exist for me anymore. That is, until I accidentally hire Hallie Hart to renovate my house and our jaded history has me rewinding memories l've kept secret for years.
You see, there's something that my friends don't know. That connection l've been looking for since l moved to Chicago, that one person some search their entire lives to find ... I had already found her when I was twelve years old. And now the only girl I've ever loved is moving into the house next door.
Again. Rewind It Back is the fifth and FINAL book in the sensational Windy City series which has gripped over a million readers across the world. But don't worry if you're new round here, you'll still love it as a standalone!

Rewind It Back

He's used to being the boss. But she's in her own league... As the first female team owner in Major League Baseball, Reese Remington has spent her entire life preparing for this role. With a sharp mind and years of experience working behind the scenes, she's more than qualified. But the public only sees a woman in a man's world - not the person who's earned their place on the field. Under constant scrutiny and pressure to prove herself, Reese can't afford distractions. Especially one that comes in the form of the team's tempting field manager who questions her every decision. Emmett Montgomery is a former All-Star turned coach who treats his players like family and the field like home. After years of running the team his way, the last thing he wants is a new boss - let alone one who seems ice-cold and laser-focused on business. But forced to spend long hours - and too many away games - side by side, he begins to see the fire beneath Reese's control, the heart behind her ambition and the unwavering determination to prove herself. When heated banter turns into sizzling chemistry, professional boundaries blur and the spark between them becomes impossible to resist. But Reese is constantly reminded of how many people are waiting for her to fail, and the safest move is to keep Emmett at arm's length - for the sake of the team, the season and her career. But keeping their distance is one game neither of them can seem to win... Coming 3rd March 2026 and available to pre-order NOW. **Can't wait?

the new sports romance from Liz Tomforde

In Her Own League

LOGAN From the outside looking in, everything was perfect. I had friends. I was in love. School was going great. I managed to hide the pain, to push it down, but it all came flooding back. The grief was almost blinding, but I saw Eli's broken heart with perfect clarity the day I drove away from him. This was my year to be selfish. Falling in love with my best friend's brother wasn't part of my plan, but sometimes the best things in life are unpredictable. And the end of Eli's senior year was anything but expected. ELI My priorities completely flipped when my brother's best friend moved to town. Everything I never knew I needed came in the form of a redhead from California with a heart too big for her own good. But Logan drove away from me, leaving me broken-hearted and alone. With my senior season winding down, it's my last chance to get called up to the NHL, and my dreams are within reach-it's everything I always wanted. But that was before I met her. How much do I need to sacrifice to prove to her that she's my dream too? If she asked me to, I'd selflessly give it all up for her.

the new sports romance for 2024 with steam, fake dating and a Vegas wedding - from the TikTok sensation

Vuelven los deportistas de Chicago y la saga de sports romance NA más exitosa de TikTok: La Ciudad de los Vientos. Prepárate para enamorarte de Río... HALLIE A los once años, mi familia se mudó al lado de la suya. A los trece, fue mi primer amor. A los dieciséis, nos enamoramos el uno del otro. Y a los diecinueve, nos rompimos mutuamente el corazón. Seis años después, he conseguido unas prácticas con un famoso diseñador de interiores en otra ciudad. Por desgracia, la misma en la que él juega al hockey. Pensaba que Chicago era lo suficientemente grande como para evitarlo, hasta que me llevo la sorpresa de mi vida y, sin saberlo, me mudo justo a la puerta de al lado. ¿Lo peor? El proyecto de reforma que me han asignado, con el que espero convertir esas prácticas en el trabajo a tiempo completo de mis sueños… … es su casa. Pero ¿cómo se supone que voy a transformar su nidito de soltero en un hogar familiar cuando ni siquiera soportamos estar en la misma habitación? Puede que una vez amara a Rio DeLuca, pero ya no soy esa chica. RIO Nunca pensé que sería el último soltero de mi grupo de amigos. Pero tras años intentando encontrar el amor, he llegado a la conclusión de que quizá ya no exista para mí. Eso hasta que, sin querer, contrato a Hallie Hart para que reforme mi casa y nuestra vieja historia me hace evocar recuerdos que he mantenido en secreto durante años. A ver, hay algo que mis amigos no saben. Esa conexión que perseguía desde que me mudé a Chicago, esa persona a la que algunos buscan durante toda la vida... Yo ya la había encontrado a los doce años. Y, ahora, la única chica a la que he amado se muda a la casa de al lado. Otra vez.

Volviendo a Empezar

¿Podrías enamorarte de un padre soltero... que además es tu jefe? Llega la tercera parte de Mile High, el romance deportivo que ha enganchado a #Booktok Kai Soy padre soltero y lanzador titular del principal equipo de béisbol de Chicago. No doy abasto para criar a mi hijo y todas las canguros anteriores me han durado solo unas semanas antes de despedirlas. Ahora, mi entrenador se ha puesto firme y ha contratado a la única persona a la que no puedo echar, su hija. Miller Montgomery es la última mujer de la que debería enamorarme. Demasiado alocada, joven y desapegada. Chicago no es más que una breve parada para ella. Creía que contaría los días que faltaban para que se fuera, pero el verano es muy corto cuando quieres que se quede para siempre. Miller Como chef repostera de alto nivel, estoy desesperada por demostrar lo que valgo. Pero crear un postre nuevo inspirador es más difícil de lo que parece. Debería centrarme en la cocina, pero en cambio he dejado que mi padre me convenza para que pase mi tiempo libre cuidando al hijo de su jugador estrella. Kai Rhodes ha olvidado cómo divertirse y yo me muero de ganas por refrescarle la memoria. Pero cuando su hijo y él empiezan a convertirse en un hogar para mí, tengo que recordarnos a ambos que me voy de Chicago al final del verano. No quiero abandonar mi vida anterior, pero, cuanto más tiempo paso con Kai, más pierdo el control.

Perdiendo el control (Caught Up) (Windy City 3)

Un jugador de baloncesto con el ego subido, la mejor amiga de su hermana y una decisión terrible: fingir que son pareja para engañar a la prensa y al mundo. ¿Qué puede salir mal? Llega la segunda parte de Mile High: el romance deportivo que ha enganchado a #Booktok. RYAN Soy el nuevo capitán de los Devils, el equipo de la NBA de Chicago, y lo último que necesitaba este año era que Indy Ivers, la mejor amiga de mi hermana, se mudara a mi apartamento. Es desordenada, histérica y demasiado tentadora. Pero cuando el director del equipo expresa su desaprobación por mi ascenso a capitán, refiriéndose a mí como un lobo solitario sin equilibrio entre la vida laboral y personal, no se me ocurre mejor manera de convencerle de lo contrario que fingir que salgo con mi simpatiquísima compañera de piso. Tener una novia falsa no tenía por qué ser complicado, pero tener a Indy bajo mi techo y en mi cama es complicado, sobre todo cuando quiere también la parte romántica que yo nunca podría darle. INDY Nunca imaginé que viviría con el hermano de mi mejor amiga, la superestrella de la NBA Ryan Shay. ¿Más increíble aún? Me necesita para que actúe como su novia, amantísima y cariñosa, que de repente lo ha convertido en un tipo simpático y accesible. Porque, bueno... no lo es. Es un obseso de su espacio personal y no confía en los demás. Pero nuestro acuerdo no es unilateral. Tengo una boda dentro de poco, a la que asistirán todos mis amigos de la infancia, incluido mi exnovio, y no hay mejor venganza que ir acompañada del héroe de mi ex. Sin embargo, a veces se me hace imposible separar lo real de lo falso. Enamorarme de mi compañero de piso nunca formó parte del trato, sobre todo cuando Ryan no hace más que recordarme que no cree en el amor.

Jugando fuerte (The Right Move) (Windy City 2)

Llega Mile High, el romance deportivo más esperado de TikTok. Una estrella del hockey pagada de sí misma y una azafata con las cosas muy claras. La tensión y las chispas están servidas. ZANDERS El hockey en Chicago no sería nada sin mí; la multitud necesita alguien a quien odiar. Sé cuál es mi papel, y lo represento a la perfección. De hecho, me encanta pasar la mayor parte del partido amonestado en el banquillo para luego dejar el estadio con una chica distinta cada noche... o eso es lo que quiero que piense la prensa. Lo que no me gusta es la nueva azafata del avión privado del equipo. Ella trabaja para mí, no al revés. Pero me aseguraré de recordárselo, y para cuando termine la temporada deseará no haber aceptado el puesto. Pero en cada vuelo estoy más confundido, y ya no logro distinguir si sigo pulsando el botón de llamada para fastidiarla o es que hay algo más. STEVIE Hace años que soy auxiliar de vuelo. Pensaba que lo había visto todo, pero cuando entro a trabajar para la superestrella más ególatra y arrogante de la Liga Nacional de Hockey, empiezo a replanteármelo todo. Especialmente la promesa que me hice a mí misma de no volver a tirarme a un deportista jamás... por mucho que me atraiga. Evan Zanders no tiene filtro ni complejos, y se tiene demasiado creído lo bueno que está. Adora la imagen que proyecta, pero yo detesto todo de ella. Todo... menos a él.
