A post-divorce pep talk turns into accidental Vegas vows — and a hockey season of very convincing make-believe.

Description

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 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 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.
