A sexy standalone second chance romance between a single dad athlete and the woman who got away! Things that suck on my wedding day — walking in on my groom kissing another woman twenty minutes before the ceremony. Things that suck worse? The woman he’s kissing is my mom. I head straight for the bowling alley bar down the street and ask for a double. And in walks a deliciously charming local football hero — Harlan Taylor. Yes, I’ll take another drink in the form of a one-night stand with this hunk of a man. In the morning, he asks if I want to get together again. More rebound nookie? Yes please! But then I learn his football team just hired my yoga studio to teach downward facing dog to their star player, making my O-delivering hottie officially off limits. Trouble is, the more time I spend working with the sexy single dad who dotes on his daughter, the more I’m feeling all the things far too soon. There’s no way this can end well, but tell that to my runaway heart… A Wild Card Kiss is a sexy, flirty sports romance featuring a charming, pie-baking, single dad who’s never forgotten the red-hot kiss he planted on the feisty, sassy blonde one night years ago and a jilted bride heroine determined to move on from heartbreak. This story contains sexy times that can cure getting-left-at-the-altar blues, and heart-tugging swoony romance that’ll melt the most jaded hearts.



This is the first book in a new series and this was a great single dad romantic comedy.
Kate and Harlan meet at a friend’s wedding and they have an instant connection and end up having an epic night together and want to have a date a little while later but life ends up getting in the way before they get the chance to have their epic love story. Seven years later they still have the same amazing chemistry that they had before it was like a day hadn’t passed since they had seen one another. I was drawn to the story from the start of their relationship because it felt real, it didn’t feel rushed or drawn out they have a great friendship to start. While reading you will fall in love with Kate and Harlan and believe in fate.
