Father''s Day

Robin Masterson's ten-year-old son, Jeff, thinks he needs a dog more than anything in the world. And there just happens to be one right next door! But the friendly black Lab belongs to Cole Camden, the grumpiest man in the neighborhood.

Cole hasn't always been so solitary, so aloof. The deaths of his wife and child have made him bitter, something Robin can understand. Her own much-loved husband died when Jeff was just a baby. Still, her son persists and soon she finds herself stealing glances at her neighbor...only to find him doing the same!

Daddy''s Little Helper

Welcome to Hard Luck, Alaska. Location: 50 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Population: 150 (mostly men)--but growing! The O'Halloran brothers' bush-plane charter service is hard at work with a campaign to bring more women to the charming little town.

Mitch Harris is the public safety officer in Hard Luck and widowed father to seven-year-old Chrissie. Bethany Ross, her teacher, is new to the area and is intrigued by the wounded lawman. Lucky for her, the second grader has been searching for a new mom, and it looks like she finally found her!
