About the Book
Piper Mitchell needs one thing to go her way.
Divorced, feeling stuck in her professional life and terrified of reentering the world of dating, she's decided she's going to work on something she can control: learning how to be good in the bedroom.
Enter Liam Sullivan.
The star NHL goalie might not be a people person, but he's the perfect teacher. He knows what he's doing behind closed doors, and with a little convincing, he agrees to be Piper's guide.
Things between them are casual and easy. Something they can both benefit from. And when a road trip to Vegas as Piper and Liam waking up from a night they can't remember with matching wedding rings, they decide to figure out how much more fun they can have as husband and wife.
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 sports romance with the teach me trope, a sprinkle of fake dating and accidental marriage and a guaranteed happily ever after.

If this is your first book of mine, WELCOME! I’m so glad you’re here.
Maverick Miller and Emmy Hartwell have their own book, Face Off, which is book one in the DC Stars series. It’s a dislike to lovers, rivals with benefits, black cat x golden retriever story full of banter and spice. Maverick and Emmy might be my favorite couple ever, and they’re in Power Play a bunch of times (spoiler alert: they’re still happy!). Power Play takes place after the Face Off epilogue!
Maven Lansfield, one of Piper’s friends, is also referenced throughout the book. She has her own story too. Behind the Camera is a single dad x nanny, roommates, NFL story. I love these two as well! I’m not going to say anything else about characters and who they might end up with (there’s a Coming Soon section that lists the other boys who are getting a book!), but I’m going to say this: I’ve left lots of bread crumbs for upcoming projects in these pages.
The DC Stars series is the first series I’ve written that was planned as a series, and I can’t not leave Easter eggs throughout the book.
Want a hint? Not all the crumbs I left are for sports romance books. Some are, but some are very different genres. Happy hunting!
