Running away from my Christmas wedding might have been reckless. But falling into bed with a hockey player before my dress is even unpacked? That might be worse.
After overhearing my fiancé admit he’s only marrying me for a million-dollar inheritance, I do the only sensible thing a woman can do.
I run.
Now I’m stranded in a snowy small town with no husband, no plan, and one ridiculously expensive wedding dress crammed into the back of my car.
Then Miles Stratton pulls me out of a snowbank.
I tell him I only need somewhere to hide.

Oh. And money, a place to live, and absolutely no more life-changing decisions involving men.
Lucky for me, I land a job as the Christmas liaison for the Mistletoe League’s Wildcard team at the brand new luxury resort in town.

Miles is the experienced hockey star holding the Wildcards together. He’s calm, capable and so powerfully handsome that watching him carry a Christmas tree over one shoulder brings me more excitement than my entire engagement.

So naturally, Miles and I start making bets.

Christmas competitions turn into filthy challenges. Arguments become foreplay. And the hockey player who’s spent his career being everyone’s temporary solution begins looking at me like he intends to keep me.

The only problem?
Miles is fighting for one final chance at the NHL and enough money to save his family’s Christmas tree farm. And I’m still learning how to create a future nobody else has chosen for me.

We agree this ends when Christmas does.

But Miles Stratton has never been good at giving up on something he wants.

The Holiday Wildcard is a spicy, feel-good Christmas hockey romance featuring a runaway bride, an experienced hockey captain, forced proximity, he-falls-first obsession, festive small-town magic, and a hero devoted to proving his curvy heroine is anything but disappointing.
