Agnes Aubert's Mystical Cat Shelter

by Heather Fawcett · 2026

In 1920s Montréal, Agnes Aubert runs a cat‑rescue charity with the precision of a seasoned accountant—lists, schedules, and a deep love for every whiskered soul under her care. When a sudden eviction forces her to find a new home for the shelter, the only landlord willing to lease a space to a flock of felines is the enigmatic Havelock Renard, a notoriously reclusive magician whose basement houses an illegal magic shop. At first, Agnes despises Havelock’s chaotic, self‑absorbed ways, but as the two clash over rent, rogue spells, and a glamorous rival magician threatening both business, they discover a surprising partnership. Together they juggle enchanted mishaps, protect beloved cats like His Majesty, Banshee, and Thoreau, and confront the shadows of Havelock’s dark past. Amid the spell‑sprinkled mayhem, a tender romance blooms, proving that second chances aren’t just for rescued cats. Heather Fawcett weaves a cozy, heart‑warming fantasy where meticulous order meets wild magic, and every page purrs with charm, humor, and the promise that love—whether human or feline—can thrive even in the most unexpected of lairs.
