About the book
Need a wife to take kare of a little kid. Has to bake cookys and smile a lot.
Was this newspaper ad a child's cry for help? Cheyenne Lassiter reacted instantly and discovered a love-starved little boy. His uncle, Thomas Steele, seemingly had no place in his life for family...or for love.
Cheyenne's sensitive heart went out to both of them. Deny it as much as he might, the more time Thomas spent with Davy, the more he appeared to be softening toward his late brother's son. Could Cheyenne hope that this business-focused man might eventually discover he'd make fine father and husband material?
