Autumn at the Cat Cafe

Via Dalton runs Pawsitive Vibes, a cat cafe in Pecan Corner, Ohio, and she has firmly sworn off dating. When the beloved owner of Second Chapter Books next door passes away, Via hopes to buy the shop and protect its place in the community. Her plans stall when his nephew, Leo Brewster, arrives from Los Angeles to claim the inheritance. Leo intends to sell quickly and head back to California, but the terms of the will force him to stay in town for an entire month. To save the shop, Via dares him to complete her seasonal fall bucket list, taking him along to pumpkin patches and corn mazes. This is a sweet, closed door romance that keeps things strictly to kisses. The story leans into a classic grumpy / sunshine dynamic, packed with rescue cats, fall festivals, and plenty of small town charm. If you love cozy seasonal stories, forced proximity tropes, and clean romance, you will feel right at home here.
