A Child Is Missing...

Logan MacMillan hasn't seen his granddaughter, Dulcy, since the toddler was snatched by her fugitive mother three years ago. Logan never gave up hope of finding her until the moment his private investigator handed him a death certificate for a little girl named Dulcy MacMillan.

A Child Is Found!

Molly Halliday knows that the death certificate can't be Dulcy's. But Logan doesn't trust her. The woman lives in a fantasy world-she makes dolls for a living! However, Logan has to admit that one of her dolls looks exactly like his computer portrait of Dulcy as a five-year-old. And Molly modeled that doll on a child she saw less than a year ago.

Join Logan and Molly as they search for Dulcy-and find much, much more than they bargained for.

"The Only Child is beautifully written, wonderfully rich, totally satisfying. What more could a reader want? Carolyn McSparren is a terrific, talented newcomer who has a gift for finding the emotional compass of a story." - Debra Dixon, award-winning author of Bad to the Bone and Doc Holliday


If Wishes Were Horses

by Carolyn McSparren

Published 1 January 1998

FAMILY MAN

If wishes were horses

The child's wish: A pony of her own. For her twelfth birthday-just as her father had promised years ago.

The father's wish: A safe and happy life for his daughter. That's all Mike Whitten's ever wanted. And that means keeping her away from Liz Matthews and her "germ-filled" camp for young horselovers. It also means breaking his promise-a promise made in haste-at a time when Mike would have done anything to bring a smile to his child's face.

The woman's wish: That Mike would stop treating his daugther as though she were made of glass. And-if Liz Matthews could sneak in a second wish-that he would start looking at Liz as more than just his daughter's riding teacher.

"A wonderful romance. Strong. Emotional. Superb. A real page-turner."

-Patricia Potter, bestselling author of Starcatcher
