In THE CATCH, desperate to save her brand from total irrelevance, Boston fashion influencer Melanie Karlsen accepts a sponsorship opportunity for an all-expenses-paid resort trip to a small fishing island in Nova Scotia. After a mix-up causes her to arrive one week early in the middle of fishing season, she has no choice but to book a stay at a run-down B&B.
When she arrives, she has a run-in with Evan Whaler, the burly and bearded B&B owner who single-handedly disproves the theory that Canadians are “nice”. Though it’s clear that Evan wants nothing more than to send her packing, he agrees to show her the natural beauties that Cora’s Cove has to offer. When a boating accident lands Evan in the hospital, Mel is mistaken for Evan’s fiancé, a lie that quickly spirals when Evan’s family shows up at the hospital.
Mel discovers Evan’s family has been in a long-standing feud over whether to sell the business, so in a bold attempt to mend fences, Mel agrees keep up the ruse for one week in exchange for Evan’s help with her social media content. Mel finds herself falling in love with Evan’s large, quirky, dysfunctional family—and amid long hikes and campfire chats, even her feelings for Evan grow from pure hatred to something much more daunting. Mel must decide if she’s willing to give up her perfect life in the city for a chance at true, unfiltered love in the wild.
With THE CATCH, Lea strikes the perfect balance of enemies-to-lovers steam and humor with heartfelt discussions about found family, grief, and identity from the perspective of an international adoptee, and how, sometimes, the life we imagined isn’t always the one that will make us happy. Fans of Carley Fortune, Emily Henry, and Tessa Bailey won’t want to miss this swoony romantic comedy from “writer to watch” (Publishers Weekly) Amy Lea.
