Release Date: September 8, 2026

BLURB

Brody Murray—physiotherapist, Ironman, and sworn enemy of messy feelings—is back home to open a pickleball hotspot with his best friend. His game plan is to work hard. Stay focused. Avoid complications.

Then his best friend’s sister walks in.

Jami Grant is starting over after losing everything—her studio, her designs, and her confidence—thanks to one spectacularly bad ex. What she doesn’t plan on, however, is running into Brody…

AKA the lumber-snack, the one-night stand she never forgot.

She had no idea the lumber-snack was her brother’s best friend, business and pickleball partner.

Yeah. It’s a problem.

When they’re thrown into close quarters, the tension ramps up fast—but Jami’s not staying, and Brody’s not getting left behind again. No matter how good they are together.

In a town where everyone’s in your business and there’s nowhere to hide, resisting each other might be the hardest game they’ve ever played.

Series: Boston Bucks #10

Author: Cathryn Fox

Genre: Holiday Romance

Tropes: Hot Hockey Player/One Bed

Fake Engagement/Found Family/Small Town

Release Date: November 18, 2025

BLURB

After a Thanksgiving PR disaster went viral, I’m back in Snowberry Falls, Vermont, running the town’s Christmas festival—and praying it saves my career.

Then my ex shows up—parading his influencer fiancée—and I need a win. Fast.

Enter Penn Radford: Boston Bucks enforcer, tabloid magnet, and currently stranded without a room at the fully booked inn. I know his type. Loud, flashy, allergic to shirts…and the guy who punched mall Santa.

My solution? Team up. Fake a holiday romance. Nail the festival. Fix his image. Easy.

But the mistletoe buzzer won’t quit, and those pretend kisses? They feel way too real. And when my past comes back swinging, I have to figure out if Penn is the real deal…or just another mistake wrapped in peppermint sheets.

Matchmaking Father/Protector Hero/Single Mom

Release Date: November 12, 2024

BLURB

Have you ever met an alpha-hole?

Well, let me introduce you to the ultimate Ash-hole: Ash Wheeler, star defenseman for the Boston Bucks.

He’s got it all—hockey skills, women, fame, looks, and swagger. A real Ash-hole.

I don’t want to be attracted to him. Seriously, I don’t. But every time I’m around him, my body ignites.

I’ve been burned by a guy like him before, and I swear I’ll never go down that road again.

Until I do.

As a single mother who seems to draw men like Ash, I console myself with the knowledge that I know what I’m getting into.

I mean, if I understand the risks, what could go wrong?

A lot, apparently.

I try to keep things casual and vow not to fall for him.

Until I do. And then I discover his secret and now there’s only one thing left for me to do...

Release Blitz: Scoring Fast by Cathryn Fox

 

Title: Scoring Fast

Series: Scotia Storms #8

Author: Cathryn Fox

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Secret Baby/Hockey Romance

Release Date: October 24, 2023

BLURB

As a bookworm in rural Nova Scotia, a girl who always orbited the popular crowd, I craved acceptance.

During my freshman year at Scotia Academy, I devised a plan to transform myself.

My reinvention, however, leads to a chain of unsettling events, blurring the boundaries between my true self and the façade I've created.

When a baby unexpectedly appears outside my dorm room, I'm forced to live with my best friend's brother Kace Andrews—a notorious hockey player who loves all the puck bunnies.

Well, all the puck bunnies except for me.

But soon enough, he begins to see beyond my disguise, which leads to soft kisses, tender touches and late nights between the sheets.

We’re on a journey of self-discovery as we play house, but when a reckless mistake catches up with me, bringing up old hurts Kace can’t seem to outrun, I question whether our love is enough to help rebuild our shattered trust in a world consumed by betrayal.

Release Blitz: Crazy Apologetic Canadians by Cathryn Fox

 

Title: Crazy Apologetic Canadians

Author: Cathryn Fox

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Tropes: New Adult/College

Release Date: March 6, 2023

BLURB

"If you liked Crazy Rich Asians, you're going to LOVE Crazy Apologetic Canadians!"

I take one look at the grumpy Brit and know I’m in trouble. Not because he’s in Nova Scotia to tear down our beloved amusement park. Or because he wants to build an elite school on the lush property.

No, I’m in trouble because Colin Parker is superlicious – despite the stick up his British bum.

You see, I’m a free-spirited girl who knows her way around a lobster boat. He’s a rule follower who knows his way around a boardroom. Can you say polar opposites?

Oh, did I mention his mother is back in England planning his marriage? The sexy Brit with a debutante makes sense, right?

You know what doesn’t make sense? The two of us between the sheets and a montage of fun activities that finally put a smile on his face. But when the montage ends, and life turns messy and complicated—yet we still manage to find common ground—it leads me to believe we’re not so different after all.

Until he does the one thing that proves me wrong and I’m forced to make a decision I thought I’d never have to make.

EXCERPT

“You can take the front. Sounds like you two have a lot of catching up to do, and I’d like to check my emails,” he replies.

“Suit yourself.” Emily flips the seat forward, and gestures for him to climb into the back. He puts one leg onto the floor of the back seat, pushes forward and grunts. I’m about to circle the car, but notice he’s not moving, or grunting. I’m not even sure he’s breathing. Great, I think we’ve killed him. We certainly have the motive. As I glance around, and contemplate on how to hide, or even move, the body, a loud groan reverberates through the near empty parking garage.

“Violet.”

“Yeah.”

“I’m…stuck.”

I admire his perfect ass, wedged between the back seat and the frame of my car. “Um, do you want me to push?”

“I think maybe you should pull.”

I take in the angle of his body and consider the logistics. “What do you want me to pull?” Emily chuckles beside me and I nudge her with my elbow. “Stop it.”

“Ow,” she complains.

I glare at her. “You’re not helping.”

She snaps her gum, enjoying this entirely too much. “What am I supposed to do?”

“I don’t know. Go around the other side and push on his head.”

“I thought that’s what he wanted you to pull.”

“Ohmigod!” She grins, clearly proud of her quick-witted sexual innuendo. “Do you want to walk home?”

The car rocks as he tries to free himself, and I pray to God he hasn’t heard Emily, or think in any way that I want to pull his…anything.

Emily drops her gum back into her purse. “Fine.”

She circles the car, and I step up to him. “I’m going to put my hands on your hips and pull, okay?”

“Yes, I believe that will work.”

Pity once again hits me. The man is obviously embarrassed. The British are so stiff—do not think about head and stiff.

Dammit, I’m thinking about it.

Let me try that again. The British are stoic and reserved, and this must be mortifying. Then again, maybe he’s none of those things. People have misconceptions about Canadians too. Yeah, okay, it’s true. We’re ridiculously nice and overly apologetic. Sue me.

As he struggles, I take a fast second and consider drawing this out, letting him wallow in his embarrassment. I mean he is here to destroy our town, but because I only have one mean bone in my body—you did just hear me say we were ridiculously nice right—and I might need to use it later, I put my hand on his sides, and brace my pelvis against his rear.

Oh my.

I glance over my shoulder and pray no one is watching. The last thing I want to be accused of is bum-fucking some Brit in the back of my car. I’m not looking to cause an international incident here. I suppose I could just tell them I’m trying to remove a stick that’s lodged deep. That’s more believable, anyway.

Release Blitz: Warm Up by Cathryn Fox

 

Title: Warm Up

Series: Nova Scotia Storms #2

Author: Cathryn Fox

Genre: New Adult Sports Romance

Release Date: July 5, 2022

BLURB

He’s a defenseman on the academy’s hockey team – a well-known player on and off the ice.

It’s a reputation he wears proudly…flaunts, even. The only one he has to look out for is himself. No one expects anything else.

Thanks to past mistakes, I have a whole lot of responsibilities outside of the academy, and have no choice but to put others in my life first. They count on me, but you know what? I’m lonely.

I guess that’s why I got all tangled up in the guy whose only focus is on hockey – and fun.

What I hadn’t meant to do, however, was fall head over heels for the player who only wanted one thing from me. Can you say been there done that?

But I think, underneath it all, there’s a lot more to him than even he knows and maybe his choices aren’t his own. Maybe someone else is pulling the strings.

Either way, when past mistakes catch up with me again, the team’s biggest player must decide whether to follow the path carved out for him and walk away from me, or shape his own future, and become the man he keeps well hidden.

EXCERPT

“You drive a truck?”

“You can take the boy out of the farm, but you can’t take the farm out of the boy. Come on, let me drive you the rest of the way.”

She hesitates for a brief second. “It’s not that far.”

“You’re not the one lugging this thing around,” I tease and lift her guitar.

She grins. “I’m quite capable of carrying my own guitar.”

“I have no doubt,” I say and mean it. I get the sense that Kennedy is the kind of girl who takes care of herself and everyone around her. “But come on, hop in.”

She nods and we walk to my truck. I click my fob to unlock the doors and place her guitar on the back bench seat. She slides into the front, and I circle the vehicle and get into the driver’s seat.

“Ohmigod, Matt,” she shrieks and picks a pair of my boxer shorts up off the floor, holds them up using two fingers, wrinkles her nose and asks. “Do I want to know?” I snatch them from her and toss them into the back. “Is your room this bad? Was Daisy right?”

“No and no and no.” She blinks and one eye half closes as she tries to piece that together. “You probably don’t want to know, but I’m going to tell you.” I start the truck and back out of my spot. “They probably fell out of my hockey bag after our Wednesday night game in Cape Breton. No, my room isn’t that bad.” I toss her an apologetic look, because it’s not that good either. “And no, Daisy was not right. Daisy is never right.” She’s still giving me the side eye as I pull onto the road. “What?” I ask.

“Nothing.”

“Are you telling me I won’t find your panties in the passenger seat of your car? Like it’s not a thing?”
