Description
The viral hockey romance sensation from international bestseller, Chelsea Curto. Comes with an exclusive bonus chapter.
She gives me that smile again. The one that makes me feel alive. Like I've been sleeping for thousands of years and now that I'm finally waking up, she's the only thing I can see . . .
Piper Mitchell needs something in her life to finally make sense. Fresh off a divorce, stuck in a career that's lost its spark, and terrified of dating again, she decides to focus on the one thing she can control: getting more confident in the bedroom.
Liam Sullivan might be the league's best goalie, but he's never been great with people. Behind closed doors, though, he knows exactly what he's doing - and after some gentle pressure from Piper, he agrees to help her learn. It's supposed to be simple: a no-strings, mutually beneficial arrangement that stays firmly off the ice.
After a night of explosive chemistry in Vegas - one they can't fully remember - they wake up with matching wedding rings. Determined not to let chaos derail their seasons, Piper and Liam agree to keep the marriage until hockey ends. It's convenient, they insist. It's just for the hockey season. It doesn't mean anything.
But as the clock ticks down on their fake-marriage-with-benefits, can Piper and Liam make it work in the real world? Or will their relationship be a power play straight to disaster?
Power Play is a spicy friends-to-lovers hockey romance with the teach-me trope, accidental marriage, fake-dating fun, he falls quietly but hard, and a guaranteed happily ever after from bestselling author Chelsea Curto. The steamy second entry in the DC Stars series.
The DC STARS will become your new obsession . . .
