The Little Matchmaker (Matchmaker, Matchmaker / Harlequin Superromance, No. 764)

A sheriff for a dad?

Eight-year-old Jason Richards is worried. His grandparents are threatening to sue for his custody, and they just might win—or so he thinks. So he runs away, leaving his mother, Beth, frantic and his grandparents raising hell.

Enter Ethan Drum, town sheriff.

Ethan finds Jason hiding in the woods and rashly promises that if he can do anything legal to help, he will.

Still, Ethan hasn't counted on Jason taking him so literally—or on being introduced to the boy's grandparents as Beth's fiancé.
