One bad boy who suddenly becomes a single father. One unexpected romance with his new daughter's fiery social worker. One man who finally finds a chance at redemption by two bonds of love that sink deeper than he ever imagined...***I never wanted her. I never wanted anyone, for that matter. But here she is, dropped on my shabby doorstep one sweltering Vegas afternoon. My newborn daughter Grace is beautiful, perfect, and apparently mine thanks to a meaningless fling with someone I barely know.I want to change my life for her, but I'm terrified. Can I, ex-con Shawn "Mack" MacKenzie, ever get it together enough for them to let me keep my precious daughter? God knows I'll try, but it won't be easy. The odds are against us. Not to mention the Tara situation...As if all this wasn't enough, fate has another trick up its sleeve - I am falling suddenly and unexpectedly in love with Tara Ramsey, the social worker assigned to my case. Do I have room in my new life for the complication she brings?All I know for sure is that for the first time in my life, I am determined to sacrifice everything for love and ultimately, hopefully, a chance at redemption.
