Jordan Hathaway is perfectly happy staying behind the bar at the Filthy Flamingo, the Vancouver Storm's favorite hangout. She's built a quiet life for herself and wants very little to do with professional hockey, especially because of her complicated relationship with her father, Ross Sheridan, who owns the team.

Then her father threatens to sell the Vancouver Storm.

Suddenly, Jordan has no choice but to get involved with the team she has spent years trying to avoid. To save the franchise, she has to put aside her resentment and work alongside the one person who seems determined to push every one of her buttons: Tate Ward, the Vancouver Storm's legendary head coach.

Tate is everything Jordan finds irritating. He's controlled, authoritative, confident, and incredibly good at his job. He's also a single dad who is adored by his players, respected by the hockey world, and seemingly capable of getting along with everyone except Jordan.

The feeling is mutual.

But beneath Tate's disciplined exterior is a man who is funny, protective, encouraging, and deeply devoted to his daughter. As Jordan spends more time around him, she begins discovering a side of Tate that doesn't match the intimidating coach she thought she knew.

Their professional relationship becomes even more complicated when Tate moves Jordan into his guest house. Forced proximity means they can no longer simply walk away from each other when an argument gets too heated, and the attraction between them becomes increasingly difficult to ignore.

Tate also begins recognizing something Jordan has tried to hide: she's exceptionally talented when it comes to understanding hockey and evaluating players. When she gets the opportunity to work more closely with the Vancouver Storm, she proves that she belongs in the hockey world, even if she never believed it herself.

As the season progresses, Jordan becomes increasingly important to the team. Her ideas help rebuild morale, strengthen the roster, and give the Storm a fighting chance when their playoff hopes are hanging by a thread. What begins as an effort to save her father's team gradually becomes something much more personal.

Meanwhile, Jordan's connection with Tate's daughter brings another unexpected layer to their relationship. Watching the supposedly unshakable coach become a devoted father makes Jordan question what she really wants from her own life.

But there's a problem.

Tate is her boss.

A relationship between them could threaten both of their careers, especially when the fate of the Vancouver Storm depends on everyone keeping their focus. Still, the more Jordan encourages Tate to stop putting everyone else first, the more he realizes that what he truly wants may be the one thing he isn't supposed to have.

The Wild Card is the fifth and final book in the Vancouver Storm series, following Behind the Net, The Fake Out, The Wingman, and Gloves Off. It can also be read as a standalone romance. The story combines professional hockey, single-parent romance, workplace tension, forced proximity, and a happily-ever-after.

With plenty of banter, romantic tension, emotional vulnerability, hockey drama, and a hero who is equal parts intimidating and incredibly soft for the people he loves, The Wild Card brings the Vancouver Storm series to an emotional and romantic conclusion.
