Wild Card

Hunter Blake wasn't planning to get married in Vegas. Then again, he doesn't plan much, living life by the seat of his pants as he tries to outrun the towering shadow of his MLB Hall of Famer father's reputation. But when he wakes up next to Marlowe Story-his friend with benefits and the woman of his dreams-with a ring on his finger, for once he doesn't want to run. Hunter feels like a different man when he's with Marlowe. A better man. Somehow, she's able to pull him out of his own head and help him tame his self-destructive tendencies.







Marlowe Story's country music songs tell stories of fairy tale love, but Marlowe doesn't believe in happily ever after. She barely survived her last relationship, and she refuses to let herself fall for anyone ever again. Not even her friend with benefits, no matter how safe she feels with him. How cherished and protected. He's passionate and driven, and makes her wish things could be different.







But they can't, even though they decide to see the marriage through for the publicity. And Marlowe knows that if she's going to survive this situation, there's one simple rule she has to follow: do not fall in love with Hunter Blake.
