He's taking over her cat. She won't let him invade her heart.

When her boss crosses a line, Johanna Strand quits her job to pursue her dream career as a social media chef.

But if she's going to turn her hobby into a full-time income, she needs a business coach to steer her toward success. Too bad the only available candidate in her small town is the self-righteous neighbor who's low key trying to steal her cat.

Gunnar Rikardson has grown fond of the cat from next door who often invites itself over to his house. Its owner, on the other hand, treats him as though he's a kidnapper. Gunnar would rather steer clear, but a mutual friend begs him to take his neighbor on as a client.

Sparks fly as Gunnar reluctantly agrees to help Johanna, leading to a twist neither of them saw coming.

Gunnar's last relationship blew up his life like a nuclear bomb, and he's still dealing with the radioactive fallout. He fights Johanna's influence on his heart as she gets past his defensive bunker.

And the last thing Johanna needs is to fall for yet another guy who's not into her.

Both have been wounded in the past. How will they stop fear from sabotaging their chance of true happiness?
