Summer Kittens

Janice Bennett, Valerie King, Martha Kirkland

When the London Season ends, the lords and ladies of the ton escape to the idyllic countryside or Prinny's fantastic Pavilion at Brighton. There, four romantic-minded cats frolic among three couples to help summer love blossom. — A Shocking Faux Paw by Janice Bennett — A chance meeting with her first love in Brighton delights the widowed Lady Stanyon, for Nicholas Radlett, Viscount Breydon, remembers her fondly. Emma’s partiality for cats--and her ability to “hear” their thoughts -- seems to put Breydon off... until the orphaned kitty, Penelope, takes a “paw” in the matter. Trial by Kittens by Valerie King Miss Anne Tandrigde’'s soft heart is touched when she finds two tiny, starving kittens in the hayloft. She saves Wink and Stretch, never realizing that the pair will save her from the horns of a dilemma. For Anne is forced to choose between the two gentlemen she finds herself engaged to -- handsome, feckless Richard Kingsley and the respectable Sir Arthur Ide. The Russian Blue by Martha Kirkland Stranded at an inn while traveling alone during a storm, the reserved Miss Margaret Denby finds a lost kitten, never dreaming it will lead her to an afternoon’s flirtation with the dashing Member of Parliament, Mr. Jonathan Holm. Only after parting does the couple realize how much more they could have shared. Fortunately, the clever puss thought the same about his new friends.
