After Macy's sister passes away, Declan knows this is his time to shine and prove to Macy that she shouldn't judge a book by its cover--all while dealing with his own problems. * * * Macy Declan James is bad for me. Like, tattoos covering his back and arms, bad. Like, break my heart type of bad. He starts fights on the ice for something as simple as a wrong look. He hooks up with any brunette with long legs. He parties. His image is terrible. He's just the kind of man I don't need around my son. So what if he holds him when my arms get too tired? So what if he surprises him with gummy bears and voluntarily watches kids' TV shows? So what if he scratches my back while I fall asleep? So what if all I want to do is hop on the back of his motorcycle and let him take me for a ride? It doesn't matter. My son comes first, and Declan is not father material. Declan I've never been a one-girl-only kind of man. I know I get around, and I'm not ashamed of it. Or at least, I hadn't been. Macy Robertson is the kind of girl that any man would settle down for, even me. She's got pretty blonde hair and bright blue eyes. The best part of her package? Axel. I'm sure you were expecting me to say her breasts--which don't get me wrong, those are a work of art--but Axel? He's got me wrapped around his finger almost as much as his mama does. I never thought I wanted kids. They're loud and messy. But I'd do anything for that little boy. Maybe it's because he's got Macy's eyes. Or maybe it's just because he's the reason I officially met the quiet high school teacher who's kept me awake every night since we met. I'm not sure, but I'm going to do everything I can to prove how much of a father I can be to Axel, because if not? I lose my one chance at love.
