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.

A Good Girl's Guide To Being Naughty • • • Ivy Collins is a normal 21 y/o woman. Except for the fact she's a virgin ... or at least she was until she had sex with her university rivals hockey captain. After a quick (devastatingly quick) night with the man and being called a lousy lay, Ivy made a promise to herself that she wouldn't do it again ... sex that is. Who needs sex when all it brought was insecurities and more, and it wasn't even that good to begin with. Enter Asher Hudson, Ice Hockey captain, her brothers best friend and her best friends brother - triple trifecta of why she shouldn't get involved with him. But when he overhears a conversation Ivy has with her best friend, he gives her an offer she can't refuse. Well, she can, and she should, but why would she want to? Three months, she helps him with his grades, and he'll help her with her sex life. Only one rule, don't fall in love. Easy, right? He'll teach her everything she wants to know, and show her that sex can be fun, you just have to know how to do it right. And Ivy should refuse, after all he's the Ice Hockey captain, her brother's best friend and her best friend's brother - but what's the fun in that. Ivy knows she should say no, but she won't. And she won't fall in love, she can't. ••• Completed • First Draft - Edited. Watty2025 winner #1 in #Romance #1 in #Brotherbestfriend #2 in #bestfriendsbrother #2 in #icehockey

Instead, he followed her home - with a grin and a proposition she can't seem to refuse. • • • Leon Collins has an uncanny resemblance to temptation - and Charlotte Hudson knows better than to touch it twice. As maid of honour to her best friend and sister-in-law-to-be, Charlotte's only job is to keep the wedding week flawless. But that's easier said than done when the best man is Leon: her brother's best friend, her best friend's brother, and the one mistake she swore she'd never make again. They danced too close once - too drunk, too messy, too young - but there's always consequences to dancing with temptation and Charlotte has paid the price. One she promises herself she won't ever revisit. But now they're walking down the aisle together, tension simmering under every glance, every brush of skin, every drunken confession that never should've left her lips. When the week ends, Charlotte thinks she's leaving the past - her young and stupid mistakes - and him behind for good. She's wrong. Because Leon Collins just got traded to her new team. Now he's in her office, in her space, and in her head - all charm, smirks, and a proposition that shouldn't sound as tempting as it does. One rule. No feelings.

And the closer Charlotte gets to Leon, the more her carefully built walls begin to crack. She promised herself she'd never fall for him again. But Leon Collins has always been the one risk she can't resist.

I thought knights in shining armour were for fairytales... until one hockey player made me believe otherwise. • • • She was promised to someone else. He promised himself he'd never cross the line.

Selena never expected freedom to feel this gentle... or love to feel this patient. She thought she had to survive alone. She thought desire always came with risk. But with Madden, safety and passion aren't opposites - they're inseparable. But devotion has a way of becoming something sacred - especially when it's built on trust, not temptation.
