After being evicted from her apartment Veronica Jones looks at her life and wonders where it is going. Her life is looking sadly uninspiring. Her one constant companion in life is her haughty cat, Sebastian. On the plus side, she is a librarian and is a competent modern woman. On the less positive side, Veronica is self conscious about her unfashionably rounded body and she is beginning to doubt her prince will ever come along. Veronica is convinced she is doomed to spinsterhood. So why not buy a house and compensate for what she lacks in life?

Her new next door neighbor is having similar thoughts. Scott Davis is restless. He wants more in his life. He wants to be married and have kids. He is the last in a long line of bachelor friends. He is tired of dating women his mother tries to set him up with. When he spots Veronica, he is instantly attracted. After meeting her, Scott sets out to seduce Veronica. He wants more then just sex. He wants forever. Exactly what Veronica wants.

Catalyst is seductive from start to finish. It is romantic, sweet and sensuous. It is a courtship between too independent people who are drawn together by the inescapable pull of chemistry. It’s about the thrill of the chase and the ecstasy of capture. Catalyst had toe curling highs, bittersweet lows and wild misunderstandings. It is about life and love and everything in between. If you crave the idea of a slow seduction, then Catalyst is the book to read.
