Perfect for you if...

You love banter-heavy romance where the chemistry is instant and the emotional walls come down slowly.
You're looking for a hockey romance that doesn't take itself too seriously but still delivers genuine feelings beneath the spice.
You enjoy the fake marriage trope but want it to feel earned rather than contrived, with both characters genuinely wrestling with whether they could be real.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fade-to-black romance or are looking for minimal spicy scenes.
You want a book that leans into the serious sports drama angle rather than using hockey as backdrop for a relationship story.
You're not sold on the grumpy sunshine dynamic or need more of a slow burn before the physical relationship develops.

About this book

Piper Mitchell, a divorced woman feeling professionally stuck and anxious about dating, decides to focus on improving her intimate skills. She approaches Liam Sullivan, a star NHL goalie known for his reserved nature, and convinces him to be her guide. Their arrangement is casual and mutually beneficial. After a trip to Vegas, Piper and Liam wake up married with no memory of the night before. They decide to continue their relationship as husband and wife for the remainder of the hockey season, treating it as temporary. As their arrangement progresses, they must determine whether their connection can survive in the real world once the season ends. Power Play combines elements of friends-to-lovers romance, a teaching dynamic, fake dating, and accidental marriage, concluding with a happily ever after.
