All I want is peace and purpose. Instead, I get chaos in the form of a persistent cat and the hot volunteer who's supposed to be minding her.

Every shift at the mall, I find this fluffy orange cat napping in our store's yoga pants. No matter how many times I return her to the pet adoption center, she comes back. Finn, the main volunteer, thinks it's fate. I think he's just trying to pawn this troublemaker off onto me.

My life isn't nearly together enough to adopt a cat, no matter how cute she is. And I can't start a relationship, no matter how much Finn makes me laugh during our feisty investigations about how to help this cat. After all, she needs to keep her paws off the merchandise, and I need to focus on myself for a bit.

But the more time we spend together, the more I wonder if their chaos and love could be part of my happily-ever-after.
