The Wild Card

Former star player Tate Ward has become one of the best coaches in professional hockey, leading the Vancouver Storm and earning the admiration of nearly everyone around him. The exception is Jordan Hathaway, who is more at home behind the bar she owns, the Filthy Flamingo, where the team likes to celebrate.

When her estranged father, the team's owner, threatens to sell the Storm, Jordan sets her grievances aside and takes a job on the staff, where she has to work under Tate. Behind his controlled exterior he turns out to be funny, encouraging and protective. He offers her his guest house, trusts her with his nine-year-old daughter Bea, and stands up for her at work.

A relationship between a boss and his newest staff member could end both their careers, but the lines between them keep blurring. The Wild Card is a spicy hockey romantic comedy and the fifth and final book in Stephanie Archer's Vancouver Storm series.
