Meet the Wynns—a hockey dynasty built on family, money, and drama. From USA Today bestselling author Kelly Jamieson, the first novel in a new series is a total win-win.
After an injury forced Théo Wynn to give up professional hockey, he turned to his second love: numbers. Now, as the general manager of his grandfather’s NHL team, the Los Angeles Condors, Théo is dying to prove to the rest of his family—especially the brother who betrayed him—that he’s just as successful as the rest of them. If only Théo had a gorgeous woman on his arm to complete the picture. . . .
Lacey Olson needs to get out of Las Vegas right now, thanks to her no-good, crooked brother. When a handsome stranger who’s out partying with friends comes to her rescue in the cocktail lounge where she works, they strike up a conversation that leads to a crazy plan: her leaving with Théo for L.A. tomorrow. A few drinks later, the idea gets even crazier: a quickie marriage that works for both of them.
But back in California, Lacey immediately turns Théo’s precise, well-ordered life into one big beach party. And before long, she’s tempting him with her smart mouth, sexy body, and sunny charm. The last thing Théo needs is a real relationship to distract him. Because he only plays to win. . . .

What I thought about Play to Win
Play to Win introduces a new hockey romance series from Kelly Jamieson with the Wynn family as the driving force of two California hockey franchises and numerous other hockey related ventures.
Theo Wynn is offered a GM job managing his grandfather's team which he reluctantly accepts -- there's a lot going on in this family outside of hockey that causes some contention between family members, so Theo is really on the hotseat with this new position. He's also recovering from a bruised heart after his brother does him dirty by stealing his girlfriend.
During a celebration for his new position, Theo meets Lacey at the bar. She's gorgeous and friendly and happens to be in big trouble with some mobsters through no fault of her own and loses her job. At Theo's insistence she joins his party and they spend the night together -- drinking, having fun and getting married.
The next day they are off to California and lots of family drama. While they both realize their marriage is one of convenience since having Lacey on his arm at family functions will lessen the hurt his brother caused, they do enjoy each other's company and that starts a very sweet and romantic falling-in-love story as they both realize the feelings they have for each other.
I really enjoyed this hockey romance. This book really wowed me and had me turning the pages. It's got an old school Dynasty-soap-opera feel to it with the complicated and contentious family tree ...i still can't remember who's related to who, but it doesn't matter because there's a great atmosphere to the book that just pulled me right in.
I had been on the fence about starting a new series from this author and I'm so very glad I did! I just loved Theo and Lacey's story. They are adorable together! Looking forward to more in this series.
