Powerless

Grumpy cowboys and steamy romance . . . Welcome to Chestnut Springs: the big-hitting, small-town series from TikTok sensation Elsie Silver. Perfect for fans of Devney Perry, Lucy Score, and B.K. Borison.

In Powerless, Elsie Silver deftly combines heartfelt emotion and sizzling chemistry to tell the story of two childhood best friends navigating the painful terrain of past heartbreaks and present desires. When Sloane Donovan’s life is shattered on what should have been her perfect wedding day, she finds solace with Jasper Gervais, an NHL star whose own life is spiralling out of control.

For years, Sloane has been living in the agonising space known as the friend zone. To Jasper's legion of fans, he is the charming hockey heartthrob who commands the spotlight. But to Sloane, he has always been the sensitive boy with sad eyes and a heart of gold—the man she quietly loves.

When Sloane’s world implodes, Jasper is there to rescue her from the wreckage. And when Jasper's life subsequently falls apart, Sloane is the steady anchor he needs. They set off on an impromptu road trip, each broken in their own ways, searching for escape and comfort in each other's company.

However, the journey leads them to an unexpected discovery: the undeniable sparks flying between them. Jasper’s gaze lingers longer, his touch becomes more intimate, and the lines of friendship begin to blur. Yet, Sloane is wary of crossing into unfamiliar territory, especially after years of being relegated to the sidelines of Jasper's heart.

As their bond intensifies, Sloane realizes that Jasper’s affections are no longer just platonic. But after a history of emotional setbacks, can Jasper prove to Sloane that he is ready to embrace their shared future, and not just a fleeting moment of passion?

Powerless is a profound and compelling tale of love, redemption, and the courage it takes to find oneself through the eyes of another. Elsie Silver’s masterful storytelling will captivate your heart and keep you turning the pages long into the night.
