When Paige Danvers isn't managing events for the Whitman Street Cat Café, she is busy navigating dating disasters as a single woman in Brooklyn. Urged by her boss and best friend, Lauren, to find a distraction from ineffectual dating apps, Paige volunteers with a cat-rescue organization, where she actually meets a guy with some real relationship potential.

Recent law-school grad Josh Harlow is putting in long hours at a Manhattan law firm as he gets over a messy breakup. When his boss requires him to do some volunteer work, Josh's sister sets him up to help capture feral cats. Partnered with Paige, Josh is insistently drawn to the dynamic event planner, and sparks between them fly.

There’s only one problem: after a steamy night together, Paige discovers Josh is Lauren's brother and dating him would be a spectacularly awful idea—particularly considering Paige's track record. But they're both in too deep to just walk away―and if they let the cat out of the bag, it's going to wreak havoc with friends, family, and jobs alike.
