Temporary Dad — Laura Marie Altom

Three Crying Babies
+ 26 Hours
+ 800 Miles
= One Desperate Man!

Fireman Jed Hale is used to being in control. But twenty- six hours of babysitting his sister's infant triplets is making him feel utterly helpless. His sister Patti was supposed to be back yesterday. Now he's worried. But he's pretty sure where she is -- at the family cabin eight hundred miles away.

Jed needs a miracle -- fast. And that's exactly what he gets when his new, very beautiful neighbor Annie Harnesberry drops by to offer a helping hand. She seems to have a magic touch with babies and calms the triplets down within minutes. In an act of desperation, Jed asks Annie to join him and the triplets on his mission to find Patti -- and Annie accepts! Jed has never needed anyone, but he's starting to think that needing Annie wouldn't be so bad....
