Collars & Kittens by April Cross

As she vies for a date in a whimsical radio contest, she finds herself entangled in a seductive dance of dominance and desire.

Olivia
Hazy Cove offers me a fresh start, far from the shadow of an ex-fiancé and a life that wasn’t right for me. At twenty-four, I’m here to find myself, not expecting to find someone else. But Dalton, the local vet with his reassuring touch and calm confidence makes me feel seen in ways I can’t ignore. His voice alone sends shivers down my spine, and his commanding presence stirs a hunger I thought I’d buried.
A quirky radio contest presents an unexpected opportunity—a date with Dalton. I’m not ready for a relationship, but nothing says we can’t enjoy a night together.

Dalton
My life is uncomplicated, just the way I like it–until Olivia walks into my clinic. Her genuine nature wrapped in an adorably awkward package immediately endears her to me. Nearly fifteen years her senior, I’m way too old for her and I’m determined to put her out of mind.
But when fate throws a curveball– a radio contest that puts a date with me as the prize—she tempts me with an offer I should refuse. Yet I recognize the flame of a precious kitten who needs my care, and I feel drawn to her. When the kitten turns into a seductive temptress, I’m hooked. Despite my good intentions, I might not be able to hold back from claiming everything she’s willing to give.
