I think every reader has a book boyfriend they would absolutely make bad decisions for.

The kind who shows up when you need him most. The kind who notices things other people miss. The kind who makes you feel safe without making you feel small.

That was Dave Thompson for me.

When I started writing Power Play, I thought I was writing a hockey romance. I was excited about the games, the team dynamics, the energy of the arena, and all the things that make sports romance so much fun to read. What I didn’t expect was to fall completely in love with the heart of the story.

Book cover

Power Play follows Olivia, a nurse who has spent a long time convincing herself that she doesn’t need love in her life. She has been hurt before, and she has worked hard to build a future that feels safe and predictable. Then a hockey player with a giant heart and a protective streak a mile wide crashes into her carefully organized world.

One of my favorite things about this story is that it isn’t really about grand gestures. It is about the small moments that slowly change everything. It is about feeling seen. It is about learning to trust someone. It is about finding a person who feels like shelter when life gets hard.

Of course, there is plenty of hockey. There are games, teammates, locker room banter, rivalries, and all the excitement that comes with life inside the Frost Hawks organization. There is also a wonderful cast of characters that I cannot wait for readers to meet as this series continues.

Power Play is full of protective heroes, found family, emotional chemistry, single-dad moments, and the kind of romance that leaves you smiling when you reach the final page.

And because this is the first book in the Frost Hawks Hockey Romance series, there is a lot more hockey, friendship, and romance still to come.

I can’t wait for you to visit Bluebell Falls again and meet the Frost Hawks.

Much love,

Lucy

Meet the Frost Hawks: Power Play Pre-Order is Here

There’s something about a man on skates that makes your heart beat faster. Maybe it’s the roar in the arena, the intensity of the game, or the way a defenseman plants himself like a wall between you and the chaos. Whatever it is, hockey heroes have their own brand of swoon—and I’m so excited to introduce you to the first one in the Frost Hawks Hockey Romance series.

Meet Dave Thompson

Veteran defenseman. Single dad. Quietly magnetic.

Dave isn’t the flashy type. He doesn’t need the spotlight to make his presence felt. He’s the man who sees danger before it hits, the one who steps in before you can flinch, and the one who makes the world feel safe again. Strong, steady, instinctive—and yes, a little bit possessive in the way that makes you want to melt—Dave is the kind of hero you can lean into without fear of falling apart.

And then there’s Olivia

She’s a pediatric nurse, rebuilding her life piece by piece after heartbreak. She’s determined, independent, and stronger than she knows. What she doesn’t expect is to find a man who looks at her as if she’s already his—and who’s willing to wait until she realizes it, too.

Why This Story Will Steal Your Heart

Power Play blends the thrill of professional hockey with the warmth of a small Colorado town called Bluebell Falls. You’ll get the high-stakes intensity of the arena, the found family feels of a loyal team, and the cozy small-town backdrop that makes every romantic moment even sweeter.

Most of all, you’ll get a love story built on trust, quiet intensity, and the kind of protective devotion that leaves you swooning long after the last page.
