Romance Contemporary

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.

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.
