Paws for Connection

In the coastal town of Sunshine Bay, The Bookworm by the Bay is known for two things: wonderful stories and rescue cats with a talent for matchmaking.

Since her divorce, Sarah has built her life around one thing: being there for her daughter. The last thing she's looking for is more to take care of — especially not a kitten.

Simon has been a steady, devoted single dad for years. His daughter is his whole world — so if she wants a cat, he'll make it happen.

But their daughters have a plan: adopt a pair of kittens that refuse to be separated. Suddenly Sarah and Simon keep ending up in the same room — and in each other's lives.

Can they trust what's growing between them? Or will old fears win?

And back at the bookstore... other hearts are quietly stirring too.

Perfect for readers who love sweet small-town romance, single parent love stories, and heartwarming tales featuring rescue cats and found family. If you enjoy cozy romance with closed-door heat, feel-good women's fiction, and stories set in charming coastal communities, Paws for Connection will feel like coming home.
