Never fall in love with a client.

Just one of the many guidelines you must follow when you represent the best athletes in the game.

The rule never bothered me. A pretty smile from a cocky player couldn't do it for me anyway. As a no-nonsense sports agent, I've seen it all in this cutthroat world of athletic negotiations and powerplays. Say what you will about me, I know how to handle business.

The only person who pretends I'm not a freaking badass is Trent Nichols, the infuriating, albeit sexy-as-all-hell, Boston Guardians general manager. With his dark eyes and even darker soul, Trent doesn't bend to my will like the rest of them, which is a problem.

Especially since one of my hockey players is under threat of suspension. That can't happen. Not on my watch.

If Trent wants to play hardball, I'm more than happy to give him a run for his money. I'll show him what a real rival looks like. And who knows? Maybe I'll have a little bit of fun too.

While the first law of being a good agent is to never fall for a client, there's no written rule that says I can't mess around with their boss behind closed doors.

Power Play Rivals is a hockey standalone romance with a guaranteed HEA. Expect an enemies-to-lovers forbidden age-gap romance, a strong heroine, a hero who falls first, and a whole lot of angst! Power Play Rivals starts off hot right from the get-go (and I mean scorching!). For mature listeners.

Please be aware that Puckered Hearts is an interconnected standalone series that is best enjoyed in order.
