Wild Card | Matt Boldy

Emerson Hughes has always known hockey from the inside out.

As the sister of three NHL stars and the twin of Jack Hughes, Emma has spent her entire life around the game - first on the ice, then behind the scenes, building a career in PR and social media with the New Jersey Devils. She loves her job, her team, and the life she has made for herself in Jersey.

But when a trade sends her oldest brother Quinn to Minnesota, Emma drops everything to help him settle into a new city, a new team, and a new chapter.

She expects boxes, paperwork, and maybe a little homesickness.

She does not expect Matt Boldy.

Quiet, composed, and impossible to read off the ice, Matt is nothing like the hotshot forward Emma assumed he would be. But the more time she spends in Minnesota, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them - or the fact that she keeps finding reasons to stay a little longer.

With her life in New Jersey, Matt's in Minnesota, and three protective brothers watching far too closely, Emma knows falling for him could complicate everything.

But some risks are worth taking.

And Matt Boldy might just be her wild card.
