--------------------------------------
Life's about to throw her a curveball!
Sports Analyst Frankie Sullivan needs a win. As an expert at using data to predict games, the loss of a World Series threw her off her game. Fresh off a nasty divorce, and ready for a new chapter, the New York Eagles is Frankie's final shot at victory.
But things just got a whole lot more complicated.
Former baseball star Charles Avery, the Eagles' new manager, is Frankie's biggest enemy. At her last team, Charlie always made decisions with his heart, clashing with Frankie over her stats and data. This time shouldn't be any different, but Frankie can't seem to stop the way her heart jumps when he looks at her.
She can't let anything happen with Charlie, but as the two attempt a daring move to take the Eagles to the top, her cool head mixed with Charlie's fiery heart might be the ultimate winning formula...

Praise for FOR THE RING:
"The specificity of Jennifer Hennessy's For the Ring is what really got me, because any baseball fan knows it comes down to the details -- the way Charlie and Frankie both feel most comfortable in a catcher's squat, the way Charlie can't help but notice how good Frankie looks in her pencil skirts, the way Frankie gently teases Charlie about the state of his knees. It was so refreshing to read a front office-centric baseball romance -- like Moneyball with heat. In baseball, there's no running clock, you have to earn it, and this book earned it." - Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of The Art of Catching Feelings
"FOR THE RING will call to the hearts of every baseball lover out there. The love of the game is intertwined in every chapter and transported me straight to the home of the Brooklyn Eagles. The forbidden workplace romance between Frankie and Charlie had me swooning wondering will they or won't they. And boy, does their chemistry practically steam from the pages." - Ally Weigand, author of FIRST BASE!
"There's something incredibly empowering in reading the story of a woman who thrives in a male-dominated field. For the Ring is a breathtaking read, filled with heart, heat, and a strong female lead who knows what she wants and deserves every ounce of success. Truly captivating." - Kanitha P, author of the FULL THROTTLE series!
"This is a sweet and charming, slow burn, opposites attract baseball romance. I really enjoyed it, I was invested i the characters and their relationship and their banter was really fun!" - Reader Review
"It's a good day to talk about a lovely sport romance and it's even better when our two main characters are opposites that attract each other that guess what? they will absolutely fall in love!" - Reader Review
