Powder
About
One jet, two weeks, no regrets… until the Winter Games change everything.
With age comes wisdom, they say. Jack O’Leary, Cap to his team, isn’t sure he’s gotten any wiser during his tenure on the Railers, but he has gotten older. Jack is at a loose end after a messy divorce from his high school sweetheart. He’s not ready to retire yet, and he’s not looking for romance, but fate has other plans. A chance meeting on a flight to a summer getaway that’s supposed to be a post-divorce morale booster turns into fourteen days of discovery and wild passion. Tumbling into bed with Knox Wilder was not on his bingo card, but Jack’s not complaining. The young snowboarder is vibrant and sexy, and is just what Jack needs to rebuild his confidence. After the vacation ends, the two go their separate ways, and Jack returns to the ice and his lonely life. When he’s invited to join the US ice hockey team, he’s honored to accept. No sooner is he in Italy when he sees Knox standing in the team's hotel lobby, as unforgettable as ever. Is Jack brave enough to rekindle their affair, or will he return to Harrisburg alone once more?
Fresh off a breakout season and hailed as one of snowboarding’s rising stars, Knox Wilder has earned a luxury vacation from a major sponsor, with first-class everything, including flying by private jet. The last thing he expects on the flight is to meet Jack, a quiet, gorgeous NHL legend who is hot as hades. Jack’s older, jaded, and heartbreakingly closed off—but Knox can’t stay away. Neither of them is looking for anything serious, but attraction flares, and two weeks of sun and sex sounds perfect, no promises, no pressure, just fun. They part ways and their careers resume. But their fling crashes headfirst into reality when both are selected for Team USA. They’re teammates in a pressure cooker of media attention, gold-medal dreams, and emotions that never entirely cooled. Can they turn their fleeting escape into a second chance at romance—or will fear, fame, and the weight of expectations leave them both out in the cold?
Powder is an age-gap, opposites-attract, second-chance romance set against the backdrop of Olympic glory. Featuring a disheartened hockey veteran, a golden boy snowboarder with something to prove, a post-divorce fling, and a no-strings vacation that turns into something real, just in time for the biggest stage in the world.
