Trouble on Ice
Not yet published
Expected 26 Feb 26Joelle St. Pierre thought one reckless night in London would be easy to forget.
One drink.
One dance.
One stranger she was never meant to see again.
Until she does.
Running into Emmett again is the last thing she expects, especially when he turns out to be the captain of the Manhattan Mavericks and her brothers’ teammate.
Suddenly, their one-night escape isn’t so simple.
Emmett Black lives by rules.
The team comes first.
Distractions end careers.
And teammates’ sisters are strictly off-limits.
What Emmett doesn’t expect is Joelle, who is smart, tempting, and impossible to ignore, especially when her hands are on him in the therapy room.
She is the one woman he knows he should walk away from.
But he can’t.
What began as one night months earlier turns into stolen moments, heated glances, and something neither of them planned to feel.
If the truth comes out, it won’t just break hearts.
It could destroy the team.
With loyalty pulling them one way and desire pulling them the other, Joelle and Emmett must decide what matters more … the rules they live by or the love they never expected to find.
When love crosses the one line that should never be crossed, will they give in to temptation, or will it end in trouble on the ice?

Emmett and Joelle
A night in London changes everything. Emmett and Jo meet one night out when they recognize a familiar look in one another…would rather be anywhere else but here look. Emmett’s friends, as well as Joelle’s friends, dragged them out for a night of fun. The groups join up and Emmett and Joelle leave…together.
Now, if you don’t know who Joelle is, she is the sister of Felix and Pierre. (Books 1 and 2) The books run simultaneously, kind of, but I would still read in order. Joelle lives in London and misses her siblings. After everything happened with Pierre, their other sister, Collette, and both brothers, Felix and Pierre, all end up in the US. Joelle will certainly have a shock when she meets her brother’s teammates.
Emmett has a hard time forgetting the girl in London. But the hockey season has started, he's the Captain of the team, and has a job to do. One of the rules he sets for his team, no dating teammate’s sisters. This should get interesting.
Such a fun book to read. From the night in London until the end, all of it was entertaining. Love the teammates banter. Can’t wait to see if Collette is next. I would have liked a bit more towards the end, as it ends quite abruptly, but still a very good read.

Joelle St. Pierre believes her spontaneous night in London will stay in the past. She went out with friends when she lived in London. One drink, one dance, and one stranger she never expects to see again after she snuck out the next morning. Everything changes when she moves to NYC for a new job working in the same hockey team that her brothers play on. Imagine her shock when her siblings throw a welcome home party and in walk the man she hasn’t stopped thinking about. What is worse is the man is her brother’s teammate, Emmett Black, who happens to be captain of the Manhattan Mavericks.
Emmett is known for his discipline and commitment to his team. He follows strict rules, especially when it comes to avoiding distractions and staying away from teammates’ sisters. However, repeated encounters with Joelle make it difficult to keep distance, particularly as their lives continue to overlap both personally and professionally.
As their connection deepens in secret, the risks grow. If their relationship becomes public, it could disrupt team dynamics and threaten Emmett’s leadership.
