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.All Rights Reserved

Marley and Wyatt. Wyatt and Marley. The two of them couldn't be more different. Marley is shy, awkward and nerdy, the kind of girl who'd much rather stay in than go out.

Well, that is until she returns home for Christmas. Marley's parents have a surprise for her, one that might involve the return of the family they once spent every Christmas with years ago-forcing Marley to come face to face with the last person she wants to see. Wyatt Oliver.

Don't Blame Me by maiawr1tes

For nearly two years, Anthony was Jem's worst nightmare... her sister's boyfriend, and the infuriating man she could never seem to escape. He was cold. Sharp-tongued. Always looking at her like she was a problem he couldn't wait to be rid of. And she gave it right back - hatred, glares, biting remarks. Until now. Their job throws them together... long hours, tense meetings, accidental touches that linger too long. He's no longer with her sister, but that doesn't make him any less forbidden. He's her manager now. He's still trouble. He's still wrong for her in every possible way. But he's also in her head. Under her skin. In her bed at night, in the kind of dreams she shouldn't be having. Jem swore she wouldn't go there. Wouldn't ruin everything for a man she's supposed to hate. But wanting him feels inevitable. And the worst part? She's not the only one thinking about crossing the line.

Moral Devotions by holl1e27

A single mom with a past, and a tattooed bad boy who needs to change his future. Macy Roberston knows better than to get too close to the bad boy hockey star, but Declan James is stubborn and willing to prove he'd do anything for her. After Macy's sister passes away, Declan knows this is his time to shine and prove to Macy that she shouldn't judge a book by its cover--all while dealing with his own problems. * * * Macy Declan James is bad for me. Like, tattoos covering his back and arms, bad. Like, break my heart type of bad. He starts fights on the ice for something as simple as a wrong look. He hooks up with any brunette with long legs. He parties. His image is terrible. He's just the kind of man I don't need around my son. So what if he holds him when my arms get too tired? So what if he surprises him with gummy bears and voluntarily watches kids' TV shows? So what if he scratches my back while I fall asleep? So what if all I want to do is hop on the back of his motorcycle and let him take me for a ride? It doesn't matter. My son comes first, and Declan is not father material. Declan I've never been a one-girl-only kind of man. I know I get around, and I'm not ashamed of it. Or at least, I hadn't been. Macy Robertson is the kind of girl that any man would settle down for, even me. She's got pretty blonde hair and bright blue eyes. The best part of her package? Axel. I'm sure you were expecting me to say her breasts--which don't get me wrong, those are a work of art--but Axel? He's got me wrapped around his finger almost as much as his mama does. I never thought I wanted kids. They're loud and messy. But I'd do anything for that little boy. Maybe it's because he's got Macy's eyes. Or maybe it's just because he's the reason I officially met the quiet high school teacher who's kept me awake every night since we met. I'm not sure, but I'm going to do everything I can to prove how much of a father I can be to Axel, because if not? I lose my one chance at love.

Off Limits by lynnf13

The rule was simple: Don't touch the captain's sister. Chase Sterling lived by it. Garrett Miller was ready to break it. HANNAH I've spent three years pining for Chase Sterling-the star center of Briar's hockey team and my brother Hayes's best friend. He's the man I've always wanted, the one I've dropped every hint for, but after a crushing, "noble" rejection at a frat party, I finally got the message. To Chase, I'm just Hayes's little sister. I'm a liability. I'm off-limits. So, when my brother's other teammate, Garrett, looks at me like I'm a prize instead of a problem? I don't pull away. Making out with Garrett was supposed to be a distraction. It was supposed to help me move on. But then a housing disaster hits, and suddenly I'm moving into the off-campus townhouse with four hockey players: my brother, Jacob, Travis... and the two men currently fighting for my attention. CHASE I'm a man of discipline. I have to be if I want to make the pros. That discipline is the only thing that kept me from hauling Hannah into a dark corner and ruining our lives the moment I saw her in that champagne dress. I did the right thing. I rejected her to save my friendship with Hayes. But now she's living in the room next to mine. She's flirting with Garrett in the kitchen, and Garrett isn't the type to care about the "Bro Code." He wants her, he's claiming her, and I have to watch them "fool around" without a label while I'm dying inside. Living with her is a nightmare. Watching Garrett touch her is a war. And the more Hannah and Garrett heat up, the more my self-control starts to burn. I may have told her she was off-limits, but seeing her with someone else is making me want to break every rule I've ever lived by.
