In danger of losing his ninth and final life, Ambrose makes a desperate plea to the universe. He'll do anything-anything!-if he can just survive and enjoy a nice long, final life. His prayer is answered when a stranger comes along and saves him-but then Ambrose is faced with having to hold up his end of the bargain."A warm holiday yarn." -"Library Journal"The stranger turns out to be a firefighter named Zach, who's in need of some serious romantic help. If Ambrose can just bring Zach together with Merilee, the nice lady who works at Pet Palace, it's bound to earn him a healthy ninth life.

Merilee is way too shy to make the first move on a ladies' man like Zach, and Zach thinks he's all wrong for a nice girl like Merilee.
