Happy August, everyone!

As you know, the first book in our MM hockey romance series, Back in the Game, is releasing on the 18th. So, we decided to do something fun to count down the days.

Every day we'll be sharing an emotionally themed quote from the book, so I hope you enjoy 💙

Today's emotion: Fear

My next book series (we have 11 planned now, save us) is called Pride in the Game, with the first book called Back in the game.

This is a grumpy/sunshine hockey romance, and not to be biased, but I adore it.

Back in the Game is coming August 18th, so I'll be doing a countdown that I think may be fun 😉

Jett Fraser plays like he has nothing to lose—and smiles like he’s never been hurt. On the surface, he’s everything a rising NHL star should be: fast, fearless, and impossible not to love. But behind the charm is a past he keeps buried, and a hollow ache he won’t talk about.

Playing in the NHL was all he ever wanted, until he returned to his hometown and came face-to-face with the one thing he’s always wanted more. The man who he wears number 25 for.

Harrison Killinger.

Once a hometown legend, Harrison was destined for hockey greatness, until a devastating car crash shattered his leg and ended his career. Now he's stuck in a life he didn’t choose, watching the game—and the future he lost—play out on screens, with Jett Fraser front and center.

Bitter, guarded, and living in the wreckage of what could have been, Harrison wants nothing to do with the bright-eyed golden boy living the dream he lost.

But Jett refuses to be ignored, and the more Harrison pushes, the harder Jett leans in, determined to prove that what’s between them isn’t resentment—it’s something far more dangerous and real.

As their connection deepens and walls begin to tumble, they must decide if they can learn to trust love—even when it hurts—and if the future they never planned for might be exactly what they both need.

I'll do a little run down of my current books just in case anyone is interested.

First up is Cold Fire, my MMM+ urban fantasy romance.

This is the genre I write most often. As a poly person myself, I love creating stories with people who represent me.

This book is a lot of plot and world building, with smut mixed in. 700 pages in paperback seems like a big number, but if all the straight fantasy romance can do it, so can I!

Cold Fire has a direct sequel that is coming out in September (hopefully) and then 3 more books set in the same universe with new and old characters. Also two side stories. Can't forget those.

So, if you like dragon shifters, warlocks, mutates, angels demons and a whole lot of banter, this might be the series for you.

I will post the blurb because it's epic, and the cover was made by Raquel Riley, who is a genius at bringing my books to life 🙂

Hunter isn’t special. Just anxious, haunted, and maybe in need of therapy—but avoiding it like a plague of regrets. Then one night, reality shatters.

A dragon crashes into his life—bleeding, burning—and shapeshifts into a silver-eyed man who speaks in riddles and bleeds ancient magic.

Ace should have died with a sword in his shoulder. Instead, instinct led him across the world to a stranger with copper hair and a smile that made him forget how to breathe. Hunter is reckless, radiant, unknowable. And Ace, a dragon prince raised on duty and silence, is already unraveling.

Then there’s Asher—the warlock with centuries behind his eyes and danger stitched into his every word. He’s survived a hundred heartbreaks. He knows better. But Hunter draws him like gravity.

And Zane… Zane isn’t from this world. In a future of engineered obedience, he was built to follow, but born to break. The dreams of winged men and dragons were madness—until they weren’t. Now he’s here, human in all the wrong ways, and desperate to matter.

They shouldn’t fit. They shouldn’t work. But something ancient binds them—something fragile, forbidden, and possibly doomed.

Four men. One broken fate. And a question none of them are ready to face:

What happens when loving each other isn’t enough to save them?

Y'all can call me Jex too, that tends to be my nickname.

A little about me:

I live in Nova Scotia, Canada with my kitties.

Cat tax: Bean (black) Cheese (cheese) Mochi (white)

We spend most of our days snuggling while I write my heart out. Some day I'm going to buy us a dream house and have platforms on the walls for them to climb on and a catio 😆

Hello, my name is Kai, and I'm one of the authors of Back in the Game and Cold Fire. I've been told I'm pretty nice to talk to, so feel free to ask me anything or come hang out. Tumblr used to be my go-to place, so I'm making a return. I used to write a lot of fanfiction and would hang out with my readers, creating and sharing writing prompts with them. I plan on doing that with my published stories because my favourite part of being an author is building connections with my readers.

I'm hoping this helps me find my people!
