Manhattan Mavericks Books in Order

Manhattan Mavericks is JA Low's adult hockey romance series, following the players and the people drawn into their lives beyond the rink. Professional sport gives the books a shared social world, but the central conflicts are personal. Relationships become complicated by public attention, old heartbreak and loyalties to teammates or family. Each story brings a different couple into focus while keeping the team and its surrounding friendships in view.

Love on Ice begins away from Manhattan, at the Paradise Club Resort. Harper Rose, a wealthy New York public-relations professional, wants a break after another failed relationship. Hockey player Felix St. Pierre is also escaping a painful breakup and the attention his partying has attracted. Their meeting offers an unexpected connection, but publicity follows them. When Harper's ex starts making threats, Felix suggests a fake relationship for the summer, creating a new problem when their feelings become harder to dismiss.

The second book, Heart on Ice, turns to Pierre St. Pierre and Isabelle Alessi. Pierre leaves Italy after discovering his fiancée cheating just before their wedding. Needing help, he ends up back in the orbit of Isabelle, his first love and someone he has already hurt. She has reasons to keep him at a distance, while his career gives him reasons to stay close. Their reunion makes the past an immediate obstacle rather than a memory they can leave untouched.

The team's personal connections make keeping a relationship private difficult.

In Trouble on Ice, Joelle St. Pierre discovers that the stranger she spent a night with in London is Emmett Black, captain of her brothers' team. His rules put the Mavericks first and teammates' sisters off-limits. Their attraction threatens those boundaries, turning a supposedly isolated encounter into a problem within their working and family lives. The conflict comes from wanting something that could upset the relationships they depend on.

Temptation on Ice follows Collette St. Pierre and Justin Crawford, with another attraction crossing the lines around the team. Secrets on Ice brings in Ember Black after her husband's betrayal sends her to Manhattan. Connor Sullivan has loved her before, but she once chose someone else. She is his captain's sister and his twin sister's best friend, so a renewed connection carries several layers of risk. He wants another chance at something she may not be ready to offer.

Start with Love on Ice and follow publication order to meet this connected circle as it develops. The books mix explicit romance with fake dating, second chances and secret relationships. Hockey provides the ties that bring people together and the loyalties that make their choices harder, while the emotional focus stays on whether a new relationship can survive the damage and expectations each person carries.
