Love at First Scratch: A Nine Lives Club Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798987867242)

Book #1 of the Nine Lives Club romance series

Cali Jacobs didn't move to Autumn Ridge for love. She came for quiet nights, stacks of books, and maybe-just maybe-a stray cat to keep her company.

Then a shaggy Maine Coon strolls into her life ... and right into the arms of Ethan Cross, the infuriatingly handsome construction worker who always seems to be in her way.

Ethan is supposed to be temporary, just like the City Hall renovation that brought him here. He drinks his coffee black, returns library books late, and somehow finds new ways to test her patience. Worst of all? The Maine Coon seems to like him as much as it likes her.

But the Nine Lives Club has its own ideas about destiny. Between late-night cat rescues, small town gossip, and one runaway feline with perfect matchmaking instincts, Cali finds herself wondering if Ethan is more than a distraction with a toolbox.

He's steady. He's kind. He might even be worth the risk. Because sometimes the cat doesn't just choose its human ... Sometimes it chooses two.

Tropes you'll find inside:

• Slow-burn romance
• Cinnamon roll hero
• Small-town charm
• Cat-assisted matchmaking
• Found family: Nine Lives Club
