The Pucking Strong Tour

​Emily Rath × Navessa Allen
Picture
Join New York Times bestselling authors Emily Rath and Navessa Allen for the Pucking Strong Book Release Tour—a night full of swoon, steam, and the unfiltered chaos of BookTok’s favorite tropes come to life. Expect fake marriages, morally gray men, voyeurism, hockey players, and just enough emotional damage to keep your therapist employed.

Frank Arts Center at Shepherd University
September 10, 2025
Doors open at 5:45 PM  
Event starts at  6:30 PM
​
It’s giving spice. It’s giving serotonin. It’s giving soulmate tropes and sweat.

This Event Will Sell Out. ​
If you’ve ever fallen for a man with a stick (hockey or otherwise), preordered a book just for the smut, or stayed up way too late reading a “one-bed” scene—you belong here. Tickets are non-refundable book + admission bundles; please contact Four Seasons Books to arrange pick up/shipping in the event that you can no longer attend the event.

About Pucking Strong

MM fake marriage. NHL star. Physical therapist with a crush. Custody drama. Slow burn so intense it might qualify as foreplay. This fan-favorite from the Jacksonville Rays series is sex-positive, queer-inclusive, and wildly addictive.
