He's bossy and pushy and nerdy ... but she finds herself inviting him to their Friendsgiving anyway. Where unlikely sparks fly with this cat hater. Now Ben has implemented a plan to find homes for all the felines in twenty-five days, and he's even doing his part by fostering a tiny kitten with a huge personality.

And the more important question is whether Ben and Kara can set aside their differences to be together for a purr-fect holiday.
