F*ck Me Sideways! It's a cover reveal?


F*ck Me Sideways! It's a cover reveal?

My beautiful Lennox Lovelies,

You may remember that I was involved in a charity anthology that came out back in November (two days after Sweet Caroline because I plan my life real good-like 🥴). Well, as of tomorrow, Mistletoe Moments will have spent its six months out in the world and will no longer be available through retailers. We've raised a good chunk of money for Food Banks Canada and I couldn't be prouder of our little (well, not so little) group of authors who made this happen.

The anthology featured winter-themed short stories by this talented group of Canadian romance writers: Brenna Bailey, Kate Cole, Amelia Fletcher, Maggie Francis, Marron Kaye, Marie Landry, L. Meredith, Alyssa Milani, Madeline Nixon, Shelby Rae, Joseph Tam, Becky Tzag, L.E. Wagensveld, Rochelle Wolfe, and me of course! I want to thank them all for being my co-conspirators on this and bringing their time, energy, and beautiful stories together for a great cause!

If you missed your chance to support Food Banks Canada by snagging a copy of Mistletoe Moments, fear not! You can donate anytime right here:

While I'm sad the anthology project has come to an end, it does mean that each of the participating authors get to have their stories back to do with what we wish.

Which leads me to... a freebie coming very, very soon! And you, my beautiful newsletter subscribing angel babies, are the first to see the cover art I've designed for it!

I can't wait to share this spicy little story more widely with readers. If you haven't read it already, you'll get your chance very soon!

F*CK ME SIDEWAYS features two exhausted millennial parents who have a tiny, slow-mo slip off the road and get snowed into their car on their way to a kid-free Christmas party... And let's just say, they find a very spicy way to pass the time (and stay warm) while they wait for a tow-truck. 😏

🌨️ Grumpy/sunshine
🌨️ Marriage in tiredness
🌨️ Forced proximity
🌨️ Snowed in(to the car)
🌨️ She calls him Daddy 🥵
🌨️ Accidental exhibitionism (it's funny, I promise)

Be mindful that this story does feature an enclosed space, so if that's a trigger topic for you, please take a pass on this one. Your mental health matters! 🧠💗

I'll be posting about this later this week on my Instagram, so keep an eye out for more info coming soon!

Another LIVE with Katie Van Brunt!

Be sure to check out the replay of me and Katie Van Brunt talking (again) on Instagram LIVE back on May 4th. We talked typos, tropes, and word count woes. I love talking with Katie, and these lives are like letting you peek behind the scenes at our unhinged voice memos. Well, minus the boring details of us running errands and grumbling at bad drivers. 😅

Bailey Hannah: Love Wells Kept (out July 7, 2026!)

Blurb:

He’s forgotten their love story. She’ll help him write a new one.

Jackson and Kate have been happily married for over ten years and live a beautifully chaotic life raising two young children on Wells Ranch. But when Jackson sustains a severe head injury that sends him into a coma, years of his memory are gone by the time he wakes. Doctors are confident it will return with time, but Jackson feels like a stranger in his own life. How can he have a wife and children but not know them?

Kate tries to remain strong for her family, but she secretly mourns the loss of the man she knew and fears he may never return. She leans on her Wells Ranch family, who she needs now more than ever. It’s scary and difficult, but she won’t give up on Jackson and their love, no matter how long it takes.

Despite early struggles, Kate and Jackson share tender moments that stir something in Jackson, even though he doesn’t fully understand it. As more time passes, bits and pieces of Jackson’s memories return, and he starts slowly rediscovering his instincts as a husband and dad. And though Jackson and Kate’s love story may need a rewrite, they’ll come to discover this new chapter might just be stronger than all the ones that came before.

Dani Galliaro: Unspeakable (out May 15, 2026!)

Blurb:

A beloved team chef. A know-it-all goalie. A morning coffee run that changes everything.

Team chef Emma Corrigan would rather eat crow than do something nice for Rusties goalie Harlan Royce. But when a life or death situation barrels his way, Emma puts herself at risk to make the save.

With a new lease on life, Harlan sets out to achieve his one unmet life goal: become a chef. He begs Chef Emma for private cooking lessons at an unspeakable sum. The kitchen heats up when these two are cooking, and all that bickering and naughty mischief has been hiding some fiery chemistry.

Tastes turn sour when Emma’s teenage son isn’t pleased with his mom’s choice in hockey players, but Harlan is willing to play the long game to win him over. The pot gets stirred when both of Emma’s main men face life-changing decisions, and she’s left torn between the boy she raised and the man she saved.

Can Harlan and Emma team up to keep their love sizzling? Or is it destined to scald on the back burner?

Nicole Kennedy: Guilty in Sin City

Blurb:

AVERY
Las Vegas was my way out—a golden ticket to a new life. Moving away meant leaving the past behind, a chance to reinvent myself. What I believed would be a fresh start in a glamorous city quickly unraveled into something darker and unexpected. My nights belonged to a job I never wanted, one that slowly taught me how little choice I really had. With no other way to pay for my mistakes, entertaining rich men became the price I had to pay. And just when I convinced myself I could survive this job without letting my heart get involved, he came along.

SPENCER
My life used to be simple—or at least that’s what I told myself. As a wealthy sports agent, I had freedom, status, and a lifestyle that made commitment feel unnecessary. I was more than content living the rich bachelor life. Then the son I never knew existed showed up in the city, and a few years later, everything I thought I knew changed the moment I laid eyes on her. At forty, I found myself navigating a life I no longer recognized: distracted by a younger woman I couldn’t stop thinking about, while struggling to connect with a son who seemed to want only one thing from me—money.

💛💛💛💛💛

And as always, here's where you can find my books:

May your book boyfriend be the sunshine to your grump (or the grump to your sunshine).
