A delightfully retro battle of the sexes where a disastrous first impression sparks a fiery, banter-filled workplace romance.
What it feels like
Reading this vintage romance feels like stepping into a time capsule of snappy banter and classic battle-of-the-sexes tension. The narrative moves at a brisk, entertaining clip, driven by the sheer exasperation of a heroine trying to prove her professional worth to a stubbornly arrogant hero. It is a breezy, lighthearted experience steeped in the nostalgic charm of old-school category romance, where every misunderstanding only fuels the underlying chemistry. The prose is dialogue-heavy and delightfully dramatic, leaning into the tropes of mistaken identity and workplace power struggles with unapologetic glee. It is the perfect comfort read for anyone who delights in fiery, combative dynamics, retro corporate settings, and the satisfying arc of a hardheaded tycoon finally meeting his match.

About the book
Cat's out of the bag
Public-relations expert Abby Stewart knew the importance of first impressions. And she'd intended to go all out to impress her new client, the head of the elite Coopers' department stores. Unfortunately, Rossiter Hunt first caught sight of Abby when she was parading as a scantily clad hostess in the notorious Kitty Club!
She did have a logical explanation, but it seemed the hardheaded tycoon could only think of her as a fluffy-tailed kitten, not a business colleague. She knew she could handle the job - if she got a chance to explain - but could she handle Rossiter Hunt's newly acquired interest in anything feline?
