Daddy on Demand — Judy Christenberry

"Hey, mister! I got money--and I need a daddy!

"I know Mommy says we're just two girls on our own and we don't need no boys. But...I kind of told Teacher that my daddy would talk at show-and-tell. Do you think $3.67 is enough to buy a daddy?"

John Crewes couldn't understand how a simple favor for a cute kid had gotten out of control. One minute he was daddy for a day, and the next his career--his whole life--depended on Jacey's delectable mommy. Who could have known that not only the kids listened to show-and-tell? John was sure he could charm Rachel into accepting a pretend marriage--but it would take more than make-believe to make a family.
