Eli Kovac was supposed to hire a nanny.
He wasn’t supposed to want her for himself.
At twenty-six, Eli Kovac is the Sidewinders’ most physical defenseman, a single dad with a punishing road schedule, and a four-year-old daughter who runs his life completely. He’s been holding it together alone since the day his ex walked out. He knows what he needs.
Someone reliable.
His daughter knows exactly who she wants. And Eli can’t find a reason to argue.
At thirty-six, ten years older than Eli and determined not to complicate her fresh start, Delaney Rhodes takes the job because the pay is good and four-year-old Iris grabs her hand and refuses to let go.
Taking care of Iris is the easy part. Ignoring her hot dad is a whole other story.
Eli is quiet, grumpy, enormous, and completely devoted to his daughter. He’s also Delaney’s boss, a decade younger than she is, and unfairly easy to look at—especially in the backward hat he keeps wearing around the house.
Worse, Eli keeps stealing glances at her—and catching her doing the same.
The lingering looks last a little too long. The space between them gets a little too small. And keeping things professional starts to feel a lot less like a rule and a lot more like a challenge neither of them wants to win.
Eli has spent four years putting his daughter first, hockey second, and himself nowhere on the list. Delaney is the first thing he’s wanted for himself in a very long time.
For once, Eli is ready to go after what he wants.
Luckily for Delaney, it turns out hockey isn’t the only place he’s good with his hands.
Power Play is a spicy, full-length contemporary hockey romance featuring a grumpy Canadian defenseman who’s all hard edges until it comes to the people he loves, the older woman he absolutely should not fall for, forced proximity, a hard-earned fresh start, and a tiny scene-stealer named Iris who picks her dad’s girlfriend long before he gets around to admitting that’s exactly what he wants. It is the second book in the Phoenix Sidewinders series.
