He’s loved her forever. She still sees him as the neighbor kid. Can five desperate kittens bring them together?
Marley is a baker at the new Furrever Friends Cat Café, which is still trying to find its footing. Her nine-year-old son, Brian, desperately wants a kitten, but they can’t have pets where they live. Who has the time to date? Just as well that she’s protected her heart since the father of her child disappeared.
Adam has loved Marley since he was 13, and she was his best friend’s free-spirited older sister. Back then, he fantasized about rescuing her from bandits or dragons. Now he’s 24, and the five-year age gap isn’t so serious. He wants nothing more than to become a family with Marley and her son. But will she ever see him as a man?
When someone leaves a box of week-old kittens at the café,
Adam jumps at the chance to be a hero. But herding kittens might be tougher
than fighting dragons, especially when two of them fail to thrive. Can Adam,
Marley, and Brian save the kittens and find a future together?

Romance series page on Amazon US or Amazon UK.
“The second in this series is just as sweet as the first,
and the characters, which we met in the first book, are even more rounded out
and real. If Marley ever grows tired of Adam, I want him! The characters in
this book are kind and earnest, which is so refreshing.”
The Furrever Friends Sweet Romance series features the workers and customers at the Furrever Friends Cat Café, and the adorable cats and kittens looking for their forever homes. Each book is a complete story with a happy ending for one couple.
“I absolutely love this heartfelt series.”
Marley touched the kitten that had
orange and white swirls. “Curled up like this, he looks like a cinnamon bun.”
“Mom, that one’s a girl.”
“Fine, she looks like a cinnamon
bun.”
“That’s a good name,” Adam said. “Cinnamon
Bun.”
They looked at him. Did they think
it was stupid?
“Come on,” he said, “Cinnamon Bun
is a cute name for a cat, especially one that turned up at a bakery.” He nudged
Brian. “But it’s up to you.”
Brian gently scooped up the kitten
in both hands and held it six inches from his face. “Cinnamon Bun.” His brows
drew together as he studied the sleepy little face. “She likes it.”
“Excellent,” Marley said. “I’ll be
able to remember this one and recognize her from her pattern. One down, four to
go. Should we keep the bakery theme? We could call them, let’s see … Brownie,
Lemon Bar, Scone, Muffin?”
Brian scrunched up his nose. “Not
Muffin.”
Marley propped one hand on her
hip. “Oh, you’re okay with Lemon Bar and Scone, but you draw the line at
Muffin?”
Brian giggled. “I didn’t say the
other names were okay.” He put Cinnamon Bun back in the box and studied the
other kittens. “Maybe Brownie for this one.” He picked up the black kitten and
gave it the same close scrutiny. “Yes, Brownie.”
Adam touched a kitten that was
mostly black but with a white patch on the back, kind of like a saddle. He
might have suggested an equestrian name, but the baked goods theme worked. “This
one looks like a chocolate cupcake with white frosting. How about Cupcake?”
"It's fabulous watching the bond developed between Adam
and Marley. 5 stars for sure!"
