Meow Mistletoe by Lisa Lickel
Blurb:
Ivy has just cause to be wary of men. Her long-time fiancé backed out of their wedding. The slow fizzle of their undramatic relationship leaves her wondering if romance is a myth. Then, Adam, an intriguing new member of her pet organization, catches Ivy’s attention. Unfortunately, his cat Isis, a beautiful purebred Egyptian Mau, prefers to pick on her cat, Memnet. Ivy would like to get to know Adam better, but with her self-esteem in the gutter and feline fights at every turn, she wonders how to proceed.
When Ivy agrees to help a clingy friend find her missing pet, she learns that true love doesn’t need theatrics. There’s hope for Adam and Ivy, if only their cats would approve.
Excerpt:
I was close enough to Almanzo’s truck to see that the smears on his broken window looked a lot like blood when a motorcycle gunning well past the speed limit of thirty miles an hour bore down on me. In the dark, the sound of the engine and the single eye of the headlamp held me in a trance.
The next thing I knew the air whooshed from my lungs and there was a light show inside my skull. My shoulder might have been broken. I rolled over, gasping, and stopped mid-gag at the wonderful vision of the softest velveteen eyes. Not even my mother could have looked so concerned and loving. I beamed in spite of the pain.
“You’re smiling. You must be all right,” Adam said from above me, where he hovered protectively.
My hero. Stars keep revolving around his head. My cheek felt raw in the cold.
“Are you?” He peered more closely.
“Oh yes,” I said. I raised my face toward his. He turned up his lips hesitantly, slowly.
Then some rude person in shiny black shoes shined a light on me.
