Husbands Don't Grow on Trees — Kasey Michaels

Single dad Jake Longstreet cooks for two, sleeps alone and has nightmares about widked stepmothers

What's Jake looking for in a wife? ("I'm not looking for a wife," he insists.) Forget a beautiful face, hourglass figure and throaty voice. Bring on the woman who'll spend Saturday nights reading bedtime stories to his son. As for Susannah--the woman right next door, the woman his boy adores--she's just not stepmother material....

"Susannah would make a good mom."
--Alex Longstreet, age 6
