    About this ebook

    Readers say: "I absolutely love this heartfelt series."

    "The Cat Café characters—especially the cat characters!—are so much fun."

     

    Lions and Love at the Cat Café is a sweet romance story complete at 30 pages.

    In college, Cheyenne and Nash were inseparable. Then she followed her dream, heading to Asia to work on big cat conservation. Nash stayed behind, protecting his secret: a phobia of all cats.

    Fifteen years later, Cheyenne comes home. Can Nash convince her to stay and give him another chance?

    The Furrever Friends Sweet Romance series features the workers and customers at a small-town 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 (and maybe more than one rescued cat). 

     

    Readers say: "Small town romance with cats ... what more could you want?"

    "Characters both human and felines are simply incredible. The cafe will draw you and you never want to leave."

    "Kris Bock's series about the Cat Café provides delightful reads for those who enjoy sweet romance and pet rescue stories."

      Lions and Love at the Cat Café - Kris Bock

      Lions and Love at the Cat Café: A Furrever Friends Sweet Romance novella

      By Kris Bock

      This book includes a recipe, preview chapter, and author bio at the end.

      Chapter 1

      Cheyenne stopped in front of the Furrever Friends Cat Café and gazed through the windows. A man crouched on the floor, holding a long stick with a string on the end. He waved the stick, and a cat leapt for the bundle of feathers on the other end of the string. The cat had to be adorable – after all, cats were – but she couldn’t look away from the man. His crouched position didn’t hide his long legs and broad shoulders. The curve of his cheek, the angle of his jaw, the dark hair falling over his forehead – they were more familiar than her own face.

      But it couldn’t be Nash. Not here. He hated cats, always had, wouldn’t go near them. That had destroyed their relationship all those years ago.

      Cheyenne stared, blinked, and stared some more. The sight didn’t change. The clean café windows and bright lights inside left no doubt. He might have filled out a little, gained a touch of grey in his dark hair, but it couldn’t be anyone else.

      Her ex-boyfriend was in a cat café. Playing with a cat. It didn’t make sense.

      She almost spun and walked away. She wasn’t ready to see him, cat or no cat. Maybe she never would be ready.

      She took a deep breath. Made a fist. Released both the breath and the fist. Grabbed the door handle. Squeezed but didn’t pull.

      She couldn’t avoid Nash forever, not in a town this size. If he turned up here, the last place she expected to find him, he might pop up anywhere. The middle of the street. A woman’s restroom. Her bedroom.

      She shook away that thought.

      Better to see him now, on her own terms.

      Cheyenne yanked open the door and went into the cafe.

      She entered a hallway with windows on one side that looked into the room with the cats. Nash didn’t look up, so she studied him hungrily through the glass.

      The black and white cat pounced on the bunch of feathers and pinned it to the ground. Nash appeared to be laughing. He gave the stick little tugs until the feathers popped out of the cat’s grip.

      Cheyenne’s eyes stung. At one point, she’d wanted little more than to know she might someday see this scene. But that was long ago. This came far too late. That made it worse than never seeing it at all.

      She took a deep breath and let it out in a sigh. Wonderful smells came from a counter up ahead, rich coffee and baking cookies. How could she resist? It had nothing to do with wanting more time to prepare herself.

      She shifted so she could see her own reflection in the window and ran her hands through her hair. She couldn’t do much with the short cut, but she made sure she didn’t have tufts sticking up in random directions. Not that she wanted to look good for anyone. Nope. Not that.

      She ordered a cappuccino. She couldn’t even remember how those tasted, but the name alone suggested lazy days at a sidewalk café. For years, she’d rarely had coffee that wasn’t instant. Sugar and cream were a fantasy. And now this? She almost felt embarrassed to waste money on such an extravagance.

      She considered the sampler of five baked goods, but that might overwhelm her entirely. She settled on a trio of chai shortbread cookies.

      The craziest thing about being back in the US was facing all the choices. People were so used to it,
