What
do you do when you meet the guy of your dreams? Set him up with your sister, of
course.
Kari
doesn't have time for love when she's opening her new cat café. Renovating an
old restaurant, hiring employees, fighting with the health inspector – oh, and
welcoming 16 shelter cats – keeps her plenty busy. She's doing this for the
cats, the community, and most of all her family. The café will give her sister,
Marley, a job worthy of her baking skills.
Then
a tattooed military vet wanders in claiming to be a master baker himself. The
café doesn't need another baker, but maybe Marley needs a man. Surely she'll
fall for a guy this sweet, this sexy, this tasty.
Colin
has other ideas. It's Kari who makes him want to pour on the sugar and turn up
the heat. But he's spent the last two years recovering from physical and
psychological wounds. Is he really ready for a relationship? He's not even sure
he should commit to Samson, the fluffy marshmallow of a cat who steals his
heart.

Excerpt
Kari smiled warmly. “So now you
think making coffee sounds good? Or is it the cats that appeal to you?”
He returned her smile, and her
knees went weak. He was not her type. She liked intellectual, career-focused
men. She had never understood women who raved over a man in uniform. Not that
he was in uniform now. She glanced down at his faded jeans and tried not to let
her gaze linger on the snug black T-shirt as she looked up again. Now he looked
like he should be jumping on a motorcycle without a helmet, not looking for
work in a café that featured adoptable cats. Soldier or biker, he wasn’t her
type – but she could see the appeal.
A clatter came from the
kitchen, where her sister was organizing the supplies. On the other hand, this
man might be Marley’s type. After all, Marley had gotten pregnant at eighteen
from a tattooed soldier on leave. She’d hardly dated since, but if her ex
hadn’t turned her off of the type permanently, she might find this one
appealing. But was he a nice guy or a jerk?
“Both, actually.”
It took Kari a moment to
realize he was responding to her question about coffee or cats.
