A mother's wish

by Debbie Macomber

Wanted : perfect partner: How to meet and marry a man in Seattle? There are all the usual ways, of course, but here's how Meg Remington did it: her teenage daughter, Lindsey, had the nerve to place a personal ad on her behalf - Wanted: Perfect Partner. Worse, Steve Conlan, who answered the ad, was perfect, according to her. Did a teenage matchmaker get it right? You decide! Father's day: Robin Masterson's ten-year-old son, Jeff, figures 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 "unfriendliest" man in the neighborhood. Still, Jeff persists...and soon his mom and Cole are looking at each other in a whole new way.
