This edition is no longer available.Mike isn't much of an animal lover. His sister, however, insists that every little boy needs a pet, which is how he finds himself sitting in a veterinary office, trying to explain the facts of life to his six-year-old nephew while holding a dead hamster in a shoebox. It's not one of his finer moments. So of course, it's just his luck that in walks the cute, shy, and utterly lust-worthy Riley Laytham. But Mike has never been one to let an opportunity pass him by, no matter how awkward the situation might be. Riley isn't used to guys flirting with him, and he definitely didn't expect it to happen at the local vet office. In the kennels, no less, surrounded by dogs and cats, and under the close scrutiny of one overly inquisitive little boy. Riley's first instinct is to make his excuses and run, but Mike is persistent. Their first date is a disaster. They have nothing in common, and Riley's cats seem determined to end the budding relationship before it can get started. For some reason, though, Mike isn't running. Now Riley just has to decide if he can make it work with a guy who staunchly declares that he doesn't like cats.
