Paws for Connection

Sometimes the smallest paws can lead two lonely hearts exactly where they belong. 🐾

In the charming coastal town of Sunshine Bay, The Bookworm by the Bay, is known for two things: wonderful stories and rescue cats looking for loving homes. When two children convince their single parents to adopt a pair of inseparable kittens, they don’t realize their plan might change more than the cats’ lives.

For Sarah, life has been about responsibility and routine since her divorce. The last thing she expects is to be sharing custody of two mischievous kittens—or spending time with Simon, the kind, steady father whose daughter is determined that their families belong together.

As the kittens grow bolder and the children’s matchmaking schemes become impossible to ignore, Sarah and Simon find themselves drawn into a friendship neither planned for. But opening their hearts again means facing old doubts and the fear of getting hurt.

Meanwhile, at the bookstore, Lance and Raven are creating plans to expand the Cat's Meow Rescue Centre, and are bringing the community together, proving that sometimes the best connections happen when people—and cats—least expect them.

Warm, uplifting, and filled with small-town charm, Paws for Connection is the first book in the Pages & Paws series—perfect for readers who love sweet romance, found family, and stories where a curious cat knows exactly where it belongs.
