Daddy By Choice — Marin Thomas

Unconditional Love, Yes -- But Not Surrender

Ex-rodeo rider JD Gonzalez may be a poor Texas rancher, but he's not dumb. He knows that money can't buy love. So when Josephine Delaney arrives in Brandt's Corner and announces that her motherless nephew would be better off with her rich family in Chicago than on his father's run-down spread, no way will he relinquish custody of his son.

Josephine has seriously underestimated the opposition. JD isn't a daddy because he has to be. He's a daddy because he wants to be -- a daddy by choice. He'll never surrender his little boy.

Soon there's something else JD won't surrender -- Josephine Delaney herself!
