My Daddy The Duke
by Judy Christenberry, Harlequin, ISBN #0-373-16735-0, $3.99 U.S. / $4.50 Can.
He's my dad -
the world's most eligible bachelor!
Ever since Grandma, the dowager duchess, told everyone on TV that my dad was in America looking for a wife, unmarried ladies chase him everywhere. We're trying to get to my uncle's ranch, but now we're hiding out. Those women can be rough on a guy!
My dad is real cute... I can tell when Sydney looks at him. She's the nice lady who gave us a lift. My daddy looks at her kind of funny too, like he's eaten bad broccoli. But my daddy says we can't tell Sydney he's a duke. I like pretend, but I sure wish Sydney knew. Maybe then she'd want to marry my dad... and be my new mommy!
