The Wildcat is LIVE!
I'm so excited to announce that The Wildcat is live!
What do you get when you mix a devastatingly handsome hockey player who doesn’t do casual with a blonde bombshell cheerleader who doesn’t do serious?
I was supposed to be taking the summer off from dating… and flirting… and men in general. A cleanse. It sounded good in theory. But theory went out the window when my own personal kryptonite sat on the bar stool next to mine.
Six feet, five inches of stacked muscle and chiseled features, he exuded a cocky confidence that was hard to miss and even harder to resist. This man was delectable. Like a decadent piece of chocolate cake, tempting me to indulge.
And that was before I knew how he tasted.
The rules were simple:
One night.
No names.
No strings.
Until my handsome stranger turned out to be the hot-as-sin star forward for the Philadelphia Revolution hockey team. A single dad with two adorable kids who tug at my heart strings, and a family almost as obnoxious as my own.
But Cross Wilder isn’t looking for a hookup.
And I’m not looking for a fairytale.
The question is — do I have a choice?

The Keeper Excerpt
“I fucked up, Lindy.” With haunted eyes he drops his head back against his pillow and groans. “It wasn’t supposed to be like this.”
He and I have been doing this for years.
Calling each other in the middle of the night when our demons get the best of us.
We understand each other.
Shared trauma will do that to a person.
But tonight, he’s talking in riddles even I’m having a hard time decoding.
“What happened, E? You’re scaring me,” I whisper softly into the night, as my stomach drops anticipating the worst possible answers.
“I couldn’t save you,” he breathes out and shuts down.
“But you did save me, Easton. I’m alive because of you.” I pull my knees up to my chest and wrap an arm protectively around myself. I never talk about this. Not with anyone besides him. “You saved us both.” Four years ago, a stalker held me and Easton at gunpoint. In an effort to get to my mother, he killed my bodyguard, and if it hadn’t been for Easton and my stepfather, Brandon, he would have killed the rest of us, too.
A chill runs down my spine, and I try to shake it off before Easton closes his eyes. “In my dreams, I couldn’t save you.”
“In my dreams, you always do,” I tell him with brutal honesty, because honesty is the only thing we’ve ever been able to offer each other.
“Are you going to be able to sleep, E?”
“Stay on the phone with me, okay? I need to hear you breathe. I need to know you’re safe.”
I lay back down and tug my comforter up, then prop my phone on the pillow. “Sleep, E.”
This isn’t the first time I’ve gotten this call in the middle of the night.
It won’t be the last either.
