Lord Caldwell and the Cat — Joy Reed

"Get that dog out of here..."

Victor, Lord Caldwell, couldn't believe his ears. To be berated in such fashion by the owner of a smug ginger tomcat who had just set upon his faithful hunting hound! A paragon of manhood, Victor possessed one flaw--he disliked cats. And his charitable visit to the new tenant of his estate cottage turned even more awry when he assured the irate lady he expected no rent due to her sudden reduced circumstances. The lovely but proud Miss Catherine Everhart, whose fiery temper and red locks matched her pet's, thought that the height of condescension...

Now the fur began to fly when the hapless but obstinate lord became determined not to let this exasperating female--and her frisky feline--thwart his benevolence. But never did he dream their battle of wits would touch a chord so tender...or that purrfect bliss with Catherine might depend on his courtship of a contentious ginger cat!

Hero: Lord Victor Caldwell
Heroine: Miss Catherine Everhart
