A Very Cozy Cat Lady Christmas

Between mischievous cats and a Christmas theft, the Bocchetta family winery is anything but quiet.

When Chicago elementary school teacher Chiara Bocchetta heads home to Carlinville, Illinois, for Christmas at her family’s winery, she’s expecting her mother’s chocolate pistachio biscotti, overflowing bowls of pasta, and enough sparkling prosecco to survive her loud Italian relatives. What she’s not expecting is theft.

Just days before Christmas, someone steals the Bocchetta family’s original vine grafts—an irreplaceable piece of the winery’s history—along with a priceless medieval chalice hidden deep inside the estate’s wine cave grotto. If the items aren’t recovered before the winery’s annual Christmas celebration, the scandal could threaten a legacy generations of Bocchettas sacrificed to build.

With kittens underfoot, family tempers bubbling over, and holiday chaos sweeping through the winery, Chiara is determined to uncover the truth before Christmas Eve arrives. But in a small town filled with old secrets, curious neighbors, and nonstop family opinions, finding the thief may be harder than she imagined.

Filled with cozy holiday charm, wine-country atmosphere, mischievous cats, and beloved family traditions, A Very Cozy Cat Lady Christmas is a heartwarming Christmas mystery about legacy, belonging, and finding your way home.
