Episode 1
Blake and the Pregnant Paws
"She's pregnant!"
Blake Kinsey stared with nothing less then disbelief at the goddess at his front door.
“My poor Pumpkin is expecting,” she said. In her arms she held a big orange tabby with copper cat's eyes as big as his grandma's copper frying pans, and a forlorn expression that only a cat could master.
"Well, don't look at me," he said.
Blake let his eyes drift down and wanted to drool at the sight of her long, lean legs attached to a shapely body that made his hands ache to touch them, with hair so pale a blonde it made his eyes hurt. And those eyes—good lord a woman should not be allowed to have eyes that bright and expressive. There was heat in those eyes when she squinted them directly and him and raised an elegant eyebrow when she caught him giving her the once-over. Busted.
"You do own a huge silvery-gray cat, right?"
The goddess needed an attitude adjustment, but those eyes were a turn-on, for sure. Blake shifted his stance—his jeans were getting a little uncomfortable in the crouch area.
"Jerry! I think it's for you, pal," Blake shouted, turning to find the guilty cat bathing blissfully in the sun on the window seat.
"What I want to know is what do you plan to do about it?"
"Well, uh, what exactly do you want me to do about it?"
"He's your cat, isn't he?"
"And what, exactly, should I do? Pay kitten support? I don't think Jerry's disability payments can support a whole litter."
"Very funny, wise guy. I expect you to have him neutered, that's what."
Blake placed both hands to a naked chest against his heart. "Lady, have a heart. The guy is blind already and you want to take away his family jewels too? That's downright cruel." As angry as she was, whoever she was, he wanted to kiss her. Spark in a woman's eyes nearly always did him in.
"Well, then," she said as she shifted poor Pumpkin under one arm and
haughtily brushed a gleaming strand of hair off her shoulder with the
other. "Tell him to keep his family jewels on his side of the fence."
"Miss...I'm sorry, who are you?"
"I'm Emma Sherwood. I live down the block," she said, placing her adorable nose in the air.
"Ah, Miss Sherwood. You must have just moved here. I'd have remembered if a beautiful woman lived in the neighborhood."
"Two months ago." He thought he heard her mutter something about the male species, but he wasn't sure.
He stepped out of the door—purposely crowding her personal space.
"I'm Blake Kinsey." Lord, she smelled nice too. All flowery and female.
"Look, Miss Sherwood, Jerry's been blind since birth. He couldn't possibly impregnated Pumpkin. He never leaves his own yard."

he gently took her arm to stop her from leaving. "Let me know when Pumpkin

I can watch them while you're at work. My brother, Vinn, studies during
