Monica Geary is an actress in a daytime series; a woman the
public adores. The salary is great but, truth be told, she
likes the attention, she needs the attention. She wants to
be loved. Now she's dealing with some young, new upstart
who's trying to upstage her on her top-rated soap, The
Wild and the Free. She needs to see her publicist,
Theresa Dante, and fast. Monica's status is threatened and
she needs to figure out a way to keep her prominence among
her soap fans.
Eric Mitchell, voted one of People Magazine's Top
Fifty Bachelors, has just been traded to the New York
Blades, the best team in the NHL. Eric is hot, hot, hot in
popularity and looks. He just did a cameo on Monica's soap
and she found him an obnoxious jerk. And he hit on her!
Theresa is thrilled that Eric and Monica have already met
and her creative juices start flowing. Monica must go
out with Eric. She doesn't have to get romantic with him.
Just let people think they're a couple. People will eat it
up: the actress and the pro athlete. The public will love
it.
Eric, of course, thinks it's a great idea. Being out in
public with the beautiful and famous Monica Geary and
watching his teammates turn green with envy is just about
as good as it gets. It's not so bad for his PR either.
But as they spend more and more time together with evenings
on the town, visits to her set and front row seats to
Eric's hockey games, the charade slowly turns into the
melting together of two hearts. When it happened, they
don't really know, but pro-hockey player Eric Mitchell and
award-winning actress Monica Geary have slowly fallen in
love. How are they going to handle this surprising turn of
events? Sound the buzzer. This story is going into
overtime. Why is Eric in the penalty box? Does he come out
a winner? You must read POWER PLAY to find out.
If you've never read a New York Blades story, you must.
Start from the beginning and enjoy every chapter of this
wonderful series by Deirdre Martin. POWER PLAY is
pure bliss. It's a winning story that skates to victory
melting your heart along the way.
Hockey player Eric Mitchell is a man in demand. First he was
traded to
save the New York Blades, and now the publicity department
has loaned
him out to help boost daytime diva Monica Geary's career.
What no one
knows is that one of People magazine's hottest
bachelors is
also a closet soap opera fan. He's had his eyes on Monica
for years—and
can't wait to get his arms around her.
