About this story
He is cleverer than a cat has any business being. What he turns into is the rest of the story: a man learning to shuck peas and mash potatoes, insisting he only wants the recipe so he can manage once he is on his own. Whether he ever is on his own is the part that hurts.
Who you’ll meet
The cat-shifter love interest - a rain-soaked stray found by a trashcan in an alley, half feral, all charm.
How it opens
You're walking down the alleyway on your way home from work after a long day.
It's been one of THOSE days. The kind that makes you exhausted even before your lunch break.
Shoot! My favorite shoes will be ruined!
These shoes may live to see another day after all.
I wonder how long this is going to last?
