About
ONCE UPON A POWER PLAY
He'll do whatever it takes to get her against the boards…
Sidelined by a potentially career-ending injury, the only thing hockey player Ryan Douglas should be thinking about is recovery. But after sharing a near death experience and a night of passion with a spunky brunette, the only thing on his mind is five and a half feet of sexy sarcasm. And he'll do whatever it takes to get her back in his bed--even if it means playing dirty.
Chloe Jacobs is done with fairytales. And men. She's kissed her share of frogs and what's it gotten her? Dumped by text--again. Determined to eighty-six illusions of romance and prove she's more than just a good-time girl, the last thing she needs is a pushy, arrogant hockey player testing her resolve. Especially one who's sinfully good with his hands and thinks date-by-blackmail is a perfectly acceptable social convention.
Ryan wants to play games? Fine by her, but this is one faceoff he's going to lose.

Excerpt 3
Chloe eyed the shot of Patron that
sat in front of her and decided she was done cutting Ryan a break. She was
sympathetic to his injury, the paparazzi, and even his bitchy ex-girlfriend,
but she wasn’t letting him off the hook entirely. He was still an ass. And if
he called her—
“Half-pint princess, are you sure
you can handle that shot?” he asked, his eyes dancing with laughter. He leaned
over, crowding her with his massive body. Heat radiated from him, and thanks to
her choice of dress, she was annoyingly aware of it, craving to touch that
feverish skin of his. The man had balls, she’d give him that much at least. Not
only did he have the audacity to blackmail her into this stupid date, now he
was making fun of her. It was time to get back the upper hand.
“Sweetie, I may be small, but I
can handle my liquor.” She brought his hand to her mouth and licked the stretch
of skin between his thumb and forefinger, her tongue darting out seductively.
Ryan followed her every move, his eyes glued to her as she sprinkled salt on
the slick spot and grabbed a lime. Licking the salt from his hand with a slow
drag of her tongue, she slammed the Patron and bit into the lime, sucking on it
very deliberately as she withdrew it from her lips. The alcohol burned its way
to her belly, taking the edge off her nerves. Trailing a manicured nail down
his chest, she pulled out the sexiest smile in her arsenal. “I can go one for
one all night long. Can you?”
Something dark stirred in his
eyes. Lust. She was sure of it, even if she didn’t understand it. How the hell
was she, Chloe Jacobs, sitting at the bar with one of the sexiest guys in the
NHL eye-fucking her? She had no real basis for comparison, but he was pretty
damn fine, so it was a safe bet he was at the top end of the hockey hottie
spectrum. Were all hockey players this easy on the eyes?
Ryan swiped her beer and downed it
in three quick gulps.
“Hey.” Her temper flared hotter
than the hinges of hell. “What exactly do you think you’re doing?”
He was on her in a flash, spinning
her stool and trapping her between his powerful arms, his palms braced on the
edge of the bar. The hard muscles of his chest were pressed to her back, a
stark contrast to her own soft body. He brought his mouth to her ear, nipping
at her earlobe and tracing the inside of her ear with his tongue. A rush of
desire surged through her, reminding her of the need he’d awoken deep within.
She sighed, cursing herself yet again for responding to his touch like an
unsatisfied virgin.
“I
need you sober enough to say yes when I take you home and fuck you until you go
mad thinking your body will come apart with pleasure. The first time will be
quick. But after that? It’s going to take all night because I’m going to learn
every single spot on this body that makes you moan. And I’m going to do it with
my tongue.”
