The Nine Lives of Christmas — Sheila Roberts

Bestselling author Sheila Roberts brings us a humorous, heartwarming Christmas novel about a matchmaking cat who brings a couple together just in time for the holidays.

When a guy is in trouble, he starts making deals with his Creator...and Ambrose the cat is no exception. In danger of losing his ninth and final life, Ambrose makes a desperate plea. He'll do anything -- anything! -- if he can just survive and enjoy a nice long, final life. His prayer is answered when a stranger comes along and saves him, and now it looks like he has to hold up his end of the bargain.

The stranger turns out to be a fire fighter named Zach Stone, the quintessential commitment- phobe who's in need of some serious romantic help. If Ambrose can just bring Zach together with Merilee White, the nice lady who works at Pet Palace, it's bound to earn him a healthy ninth life. Unfortunately for Ambrose, his mission is a lot harder than he ever anticipated. Now it's going to take all his feline wiles -- and a healthy dose of Christmas magic -- to bring them all together in time for the holidays.

Hero: Zach Stone
Heroine: Merilee White
