Paws for Connection

The Tumble Twins are a bonded pair of rescue kittens, and Raven Johnson won’t let anyone split them up. But two best friends are determined to be the exception — if they can just get their reluctant single parents on board.

At the Cat’s Meow Rescue Centre in Sunshine Bay, Raven has a gift for matching cats with the people who need them most. Two tumbling, mischief-making kittens and two homes? That’s going to take a little matchmaking.

Since her divorce, Sarah has poured everything into raising her daughter. The last thing she needs is one more thing to take care of — especially a kitten.

Simon would move mountains for his little girl. If she wants a cat, she’ll get one.

But the girls have a plan, and suddenly Sarah and Simon are sharing kitten play dates, feeding schedules, and far more of each other’s lives than either intended.

Sarah learned the hard way that men leave, and the only way to protect her heart is to handle everything alone. Since his marriage ended, Simon has put his daughter first — even if that means putting his own heart on hold. Letting each other in could cost them the careful lives they’ve rebuilt… or give them the family neither dared hope for.

Book 1 of Pages and Paws: a sweet, closed-door, small-town single parent romance with matchmaking rescue cats, scheming daughters, and the cozy bookstore readers fell for in The Bookworm and the Cat’s Meow.
