Like a Power Play
A sapphic college hockey rom-com about a team captain who butts heads with her new student coach, until she begins to fall for her.
From Elle Sprinkle, author of bestselling lesbian romance "Puppy Love", comes "Like a Power Play", a sapphic college hockey rom-com about a team captain who butts heads with her new student coach, until she begins to fall for her.
The student coach. The team captain. They're skating on thin ice- until one of them falls.
Peyton Clarke has everything to prove. As the starting center for Greenrock University's women's hockey team, she's determined to earn her place-no handouts, no shortcuts. Being the daughter of a retired NHL star, Peyton is desperate to show she's more than just a product of her father's fame. But when her relentless drive starts to blur the line between dedication and recklessness, she risks everything, including her future.
Darcy Cole never thought she'd return to hockey. Once a rising star at Minnesota State, her dreams were shattered when rheumatoid arthritis forced her to quit the sport she loved. Now, thanks to her meddling head coach mother, she's stuck as a student assistant coach, a role she never asked for. Darcy has sworn off the ice, keeping her past as a player a secret. But when Peyton Clarke's reckless playing style clashes with her cautious approach, something sparks-and then explodes.
To Darcy, Peyton is a reminder of everything she had to give up. To Peyton, Darcy is just the coach's daughter who has no business telling her how to play. But Darcy is no stranger to hockey, and when their worlds collide, they both start to realize that maybe they have more in common than they think-both on and off the ice.
