Kittens & Kisses

A grieving widow. A handsome sheriff’s deputy. And a litter of abandoned kittens that might just provide a second chance at life.

Missy Hanford buried her heart the day she lost her Marine husband. Now, she stays busy by baking for the Cupcake Posse, rescuing every stray animal she finds, and trying her best to stay on the right side of the law. She has no room for romance—until a box of abandoned kittens brings a handsome sheriff’s deputy to her door.

While her friends urge her to open her heart, Missy would much rather focus on the chaos surrounding the rest of the Posse:

– Nell is intentionally dating the wrong man just to thwart her mother’s relentless matchmaking.

– Selena is caught in a grueling commute between her hometown loyalty and her husband in Seattle.

– Bria is finally unearthing the dark family secrets hidden beneath the bakery’s floorboards.

– Juliet is desperately trying to forge an independent identity out of the ashes of her old life.

As the women of Berry Lake rely on their unbreakable bond to navigate new questions and harder truths, Missy must face her own reality. Will she continue to hide behind her grief, or will she let a deputy and a few rescue kittens show her that love is still possible?
