The Nine-Dollar Daddy

NAME: Hutch Lonigan

AGE: 10 1/2

Hutch Lonigan knows exactly what he's going to get his Mom for her birthday -- a man! But his marriage-shy mother is determined her dating days are over. So Hutch walks into the Yellow Rose Matchmakers agency with all his savings and demands the best man he can get for nine dollars...and change!

As the sleeping partner in the family business, rancher Ty Merrick hasn't expected that man to be him. But one look at Cassidy Lonigan and Ty is hearing wedding bells. Only it's going to take more than sweet talk and kisses to persuade this stubborn woman up the isle.
