About The Book
He’s Hollywood’s favourite leading man.
She wants nothing to do with famous men.
Too bad her cat already picked his side.
Ethan James is Hollywood’s golden boy — charming, famous, and one bad movie away from career disaster. With filming about to begin on the role that could save his reputation, Ethan needs someone dependable to care for his anxious rescue dog, Harry.
Unfortunately, the only person available is Hazel Conor.
Hazel is sarcastic, stubborn, freshly unemployed, and desperately trying to keep her life from completely falling apart. Dog-sitting for an infuriatingly handsome movie star seems like easy money… until she actually meets Ethan.
He’s too smooth. Too attractive. Too used to getting his way.
Hazel refuses to become just another woman falling for Hollywood charm — even if Ethan’s sweet relationship with Harry keeps melting her defenses.
But the real problem is Kevin.
Kevin, Hazel’s notoriously grumpy cat, hates everyone. Neighbours. Delivery drivers. Children. Yet the moment Ethan walks through the door, Kevin decides he’s the love of his life.
As Hazel watches her traitorous cat cuddle up to the man she’s trying very hard not to want, she begins to suspect Ethan James may be more than just a famous face.
Packed with laugh-out-loud banter, sizzling chemistry, lovable pets, and all the cozy chaos of a perfect romantic comedy, this irresistible opposites-attract romance is perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Tessa Bailey, and anyone who believes animals always know who you’re meant to be with.
