When a movie star with a fierce secret meets an animal handler chasing his big break, sparks (and plenty of fur) fly...

With a flourishing career as golden-era Hollywood's leading femme fatale, Lina Leonard has never regretted leaving her place among a line of magical feline protectors-or suppressing her ability to shift into a leopard at will. But when her past comes calling, on the same day she runs into a handsome cat wrangler, she finds herself tempted to make more than just movie magic.

Tony Benson only wants to land a prestigious gig as an animal trainer at Phoenix Pictures and secure the funding he needs to continue helping the critters under his care-especially Betty, the gentle leopard he rescued as a cub. The last thing he expects is for his favorite noir dame to soothe his rough edges and enflame his desires.

Lina and Tony's incendiary chemistry is nearly tamed by a herd of kittens, a pair of lovelorn leopards, and a dodgy circus owner. But with a little real magic, and a lot of trust in one another, they might just become a purrfect team.
