JANUARY, 2020 TEA AND TEMPTATION AT THE CAT CAFÉ By: The Plot: In the last six months, Zach moved to the country, his wife left him, and he was diagnosed with cancer. Now he‟s sim- ply trying to survive. But when a pretty woman comes into his favorite café and collapses with a groan of despair, he feels something he thought he‟d lost long ago: curiosity. Veterinarian Jenna learned one lesson from her ex-husband: Men don‟t want to deal with your emotions. It‟s odd to have a stranger ask about her problems. It‟s even more of a shock when he offers to solve one of them by fostering the sick kitten abandoned by its owners. Zach and Jenna bond over kitten care. Could they have more? Zach is finally starting to hope for a future, ideally one that includes Jenna, but first he must deal with his past. Mean- while, Jenna is afraid to risk her heart on someone who might not survive. Reviews Welcome. An Excerpt “Thanks,” he said. She raised her eyebrows. “For what? Saddling you with a cat who has health problems and still manages to scream at a hun- dred decibels?” Why was she even doing this? The cat needed a home, true, but did Zach need more stress in his life? In the last six months, he‟d moved away from everything he knew, his wife had left, and he got cancer. She turned back halfway to the door. “You know, if you de- cide you can‟t handle him, tell me. I won‟t be angry.” “We‟ll be okay. And I meant thanks for giving me something to do other than be sick. Life seems more interesting today than it did before I met you.” His smile was incredibly sweet. He gave her hope for hu- manity. “Okay. Bye.” She fled.
