Maya was an aspiring artist, moving across the country to escape her past and explore the world of music. She finally seems to have got her life together when everything comes tumbling down when she runs head on into her past. Hayden was the campus it boy. Aspiring to reach NFL level, he eats sleeps and breaths football, but everything changed when he saw her. How alive she felt on stage, only encouraged him to know more. He needed to know more. Their paths crossed, in a time when neither of them are ready. However when they are brought together by fate, will they struggle to deny or finally accept their feelings?

Two weeks. That was the deal. Two weeks under the same roof. Two weeks to decide what was real. Two weeks before walking away. Cara never expected those two weeks to change everything. Fresh off a forced marriage she never believed would last, Cara tells herself she's just surviving-sharing space with the most famous quarterback in the league, pretending she belongs in his mansion, pretending his slow smiles and possessive touches don't undo her. She has plans. A career. A life that doesn't revolve around stadium lights and tabloid headlines. Noah Beckett was never supposed to be more than a complication. But Noah doesn't do anything halfway. Not football. Not marriage. And definitely not her. As the walls come down and the lines blur, what starts as obligation ignites into something dangerous-intimate nights, stolen moments, laughter layered over desire. Noah wants her to stay. Cara wants to believe she can. And somewhere between late-night confessions and whispered promises, falling in love becomes the one thing neither of them planned for. But love means trust. And when jealousy, secrets, and outside interference threaten everything they've built, Cara is forced to face the hardest truth of all- Love isn't enough if it isn't safe. Wildcard is a spicy, emotional sports romance about desire, control, vulnerability, and the moment love stops being a game. Perfect for readers who love messy feelings, feral heroes, strong heroines, and a heartbreak ending that lingers long after the last page.
