Caden Connelly is hot. Dumb. And possibly cursed. Every girl he dates ends up falling for someone else-usually one of his teammates-and he's sick of being the universe's personal punchline. So this semester, he's got a new plan: fake date someone completely undateable. Someone so immune to hockey charm, the curse won't stand a chance. Enter Raven Alore. She's too smart to fall for a himbo goalie and way too busy trying to win a cutthroat sports media internship, take revenge on her ex, and survive living with her backstabbing roommate. She has exactly zero time for Caden's golden retriever energy or his abs of distraction. But when fake dating him gets her: a viral PR case study a shot at the internship and her ex shaking in his cleats... Well, she's in. With conditions. No feelings. No flirting. No shirtless selfies. (Okay, maybe one shirtless selfie.) But the longer they fake it, the messier it gets-because Caden's actually... not that dumb? And Raven's not that heartless. And this whole thing? Might not be fake at all. By the time the puck drops, someone's gonna catch feelings. Let's just hope it's not cursed.

It wasn't supposed to mean anything. Just one night. Sydney Hale goes home with a stranger who's charming, funny, and way too easy to talk to. The chemistry is instant, the sex is unforgettable-and somehow, they end up staying up half the night laughing, talking, and getting to know each other in a way that feels dangerously real. It scares her. So the next morning, she does what she always does when things start to matter-she leaves. No goodbye. No explanation. She moves on. Except he doesn't. Carson-which was not the name he told her-can't stop thinking about the woman who slipped through his fingers. He's drawn to her in a way that has nothing to do with attraction and everything to do with connection. He texts. He calls. He shows up. He wants more. Sydney wants distance. Then she sees a headline. A photo. A name she doesn't recognize-until she does. Carson Beck. The biggest, hottest quarterback in the NFL. A notorious playboy with a reputation for chewing through women and walking away without a second glance. The realization hits hard: she didn't just sleep with a stranger-she slept with him. Now she's caught between panic and disbelief. Because the man she spent the night with doesn't match the one splashed across every sports page. And despite his reputation, Carson is still chasing her like she's the only woman who exists. She knows better than to fall for a quarterback who lives under stadium lights and headlines. But Carson Beck has never wanted anything the way he wants Sydney Hale. And this time, he refuses to fumble her twice.

Delaney Kane has loved Carter Reed for as long as she can remember. He's her brother's best friend, and that's always been the problem. Things only got more complicated when Delaney expressed her feelings for Carter. But he didn't feel the same. Heartbroken, Delaney tried to move on and put him behind her, vowing to never look back. But now, years later, she's back in her hometown, and there's no avoiding him. Carter Reed has always been focused on one thing-becoming the fire chief, just like his father. Distractions weren't an option, especially not in the form of his best friend's little sister. But now that Delaney's back, she's impossible to ignore. She's no longer the young girl who confessed her feelings for him all those years ago-she's grown into a stunning, confident woman. And no matter how much he tries, he can't escape the fire still burning between them. As sparks reignite, the tension between Delaney and Carter builds. The question is-how long can they resist the heat before everything they've tried to bury comes to the surface?

When Scarlett's dorm situation turns into a nightmare, the Sinclairs offer Elliot's guest room to her. Sharing a space with the person she finds most insufferable on campus? Not ideal. But as the walls come down, so do their assumptions about each other. What starts as chilly silence turns into heated banter. And somewhere between late-night talks and stolen glances, feelings develop. She's all discipline. He's all chaos. Together? They just might fall into something real.

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.
