For those who know me know how much I love summer. Which begs the
question, why do you live in Nova Scotia where winters are eight months long? I
often ask myself the same thing but the answer is the same. Family. I want to be
close, so Iโm willing to put up with the cold winters. But having said that, I
live summers to the fullest and spend as much time as possible outdoors. I give
myself a little bit of a lighter work schedule in the summer and try to get
outdoors on the deck early afternoon so I can read in the sun. We live right on
the beautiful Atlantic Ocean so when Iโm not on the deck, I can be found reading
at the beach (Iโm seeing a theme here, lol)
A few years back we also built a fire pit and spend many fun nights drinking
wine around the fire and roasting marshmallow with friends. In our garden this
year we planted tomatoes, squash pumpkin, and blueberries. For fruit trees we
have peaches, apples, pears and cherries, but forget about the cherries, the
deer hover close and eat them when they are perfectly ripe! They like our
blueberries, too but I do manage to get a handful every now and then.
A few years back, I salvaged this lovely wrought iron post my grandfather made
over 45 years ago. I love it so much. He was born in Germany and at seventeen
traveled to Charlottetown PEI, Canada for work and was the first man to
introducing welding to the island. My husband cleaned this piece up and restored
it for me and every summer we hang it at the fire pit and hang the family sign
on it that the kids made me for my birthday a few years back.
Anyway, looks like the sun is beginning to peek out from the clouds so thatโs my
cue to grab my Kindle and go get some sunny D!
Happy Summer everyone. I hope you all have your e-readers loaded with some
awesome books and are out enjoying the sunshine!
When Iโm not out in the sunshine, you can find me here!

A former government financial officer, Cathryn Fox graduated from university
with a Bachelor of Business Administration, majoring in accounting and

life wasn't for her. Needing an outlet for her creative energy, she turned in
her briefcase and calculator and began writing romance full-time. Cathryn enjoys
writing dark paranormals and humorous contemporaries. She lives in eastern
Canada with her husband, two kids, and chocolate Labrador retriever. When
Cathryn isn't writing, you can find her reading, relaxing with her family, or
watching a big-action flick.
When he wins a sexy bet, billionaire Linc Blair canโt wait to get Lauren
Neill naked. Heโs never gone for her type in the past, and heโs pretty certain
it has more to do with her buttoned-up hotness than the nagging sense that
something is missing from his life. But when he gets a glimpse of the vulnerable
woman beneath the conservative, yet oh-so-sexy clothes, itโs a game changer.
Lauren canโt believe sheโs spending a few days with one of sexiest, and most
annoying men sheโs ever met. But she canโt deny the chemistry between them, and
for once in her life sheโs letting down her guard so she can explore a different
side of herself. The side only Linc brings out in her.
Taking it slow, he unleashes her sexuality and it quickly occurs to him that
what started out as a bet for him has become something more. With their weekend
nearly over, and her ex showing interest in this new confident version of
Lauren, Linc will have to risk it all if he wants to win the game of love.
