Joe’s Accounting is just the third accounting firm I’ve gotten kicked out of this week. I’m about to head back to the ranch when, without warning, a beautiful young boy bursts through the door and barrels straight towards me. “Please, sir,” he gasps, taking a sharp breath. “M-My boss didn’t mean any harm. But I heard your conversation. Please… Can you take me to see the ranch?”My mind says no. I’m the head of operations at the ranch, not a daddy. I haven’t been a daddy since my last relationship went down in flames. But my heart says otherwise. It begs me to strap him into a booster seat and get him ready to play. I can’t resist his sweet little charm.I want to tell him to get in. It’s time to take this sweet boy to Neverland.
