Substitute Father — Janelle Denison

A LITTLE BOY'S WISH...

Lauren Richmond is determined to help an orphaned boy whose only wish -- besides longing for a family -- is to meet his hero, rodeo champion Rafe Dalton.

But Rafe isn't ready to be anybody's hero. When Lauren tracks him down she finds a No Entry sign at the gates of his ranch -- and mile-high walls around his heart!

Still, Lauren can't help hoping that if this stubborn, gorgeous cowboy opens his heart to one lonely boy, he might also find room in there for her!
