The Wilde Card

Simone Warner is a mom, a perfectionist, and former CEO. She's spent her life living up to the expectations of others—which is why she decides to have a one-night stand with a gorgeous tennis player eight years her junior. One wild night of reckless abandon, right?

Not exactly.

After she quits her job as CEO of Warner Hotels, Simone agrees to help notorious tennis player Julian Smoke coach a new top-secret player. Tennis has always been her passion, and Simone eagerly takes the plunge. What she doesn't expect is for her steamy one-night stand to waltz through the doors with a smirk on his face and a racket in hand.

Alex Wilde can't seem to get a handle on his game. Obsessed with besting his vile tennis star step-brother, he turns to Julian Smoke and his training center for help. That's when he sees her—the only woman who has ever left his bed without a goodbye. Simone Warner is his new assistant coach…and his only hope at getting back into the game.

The problem? Alex can't stop thinking about the woman who holds his future in her hands. And now, he has to play a very different kind of game, one where he has to win the girl. 

Everyone knows to never underestimate a wild card—on or off the court.

"The characters in The Wilde Card are so sweet and their connection is so so genuine. I cried and I laughed, and I laughed until I cried. My heart is so connected to this story, and I'm honestly blown away." — Colby Bettley, author of Christmas at the Grotto
