CHAPTER THIRTEEN

▲ ▼ ▲ ▼ ▲

MAC WONDERED IF he was crazy. He had the right to be upset. Didn’t he? Angry and offended, he crossed his arms over his chest as he stared out the window of his office.

“They should have told me. I had the right to know that some psychotic whack job is harassing my—” Mac caught himself before he called Darcy his. “The team’s general manager.”

Sitting opposite Mac’s desk, Sean McBride stretched out his long legs, crossing them at the ankles. He rolled his head in a slow circle and sighed.

“I stopped by for a quick visit, not to be grilled.”

“Can’t you do both?” Mac asked with a smirk. “Ever heard of multi-tasking?

“Funny,” Sean said without cracking a smile. “I understand your beef, Mac. However, Riley stands by her judgment call. Darcy wanted to keep the information under the radar. If news leaked that she had a stalker, she was afraid people would accuse her of playing the victim card.”

“When you say people, I assume that I’m included? Darcy believed I would give her a hard time, didn’t she?” Mac’s jaw tightened. “What a load of bullshit. She should have known better.”

“Because you were first to throw a party when you heard she’d been hired as your boss?” Sarcasm dripped from each of Sean’s words. “Be honest, Mac. Darcy had every reason to keep quiet.”

“At first, maybe,” Mac conceded. “But our relationship has evolved since the day we were introduced.”

“Evolved. Interesting word for a caveman to use.” Sean grinned when Mac shot him a warning look. “You hated the idea of a woman general manager. Why the change of heart?”

“Because Darcy didn’t give me a choice,” Mac said, smiling despite himself.

The daily meetings. Phone calls. Emails. The woman was relentless. Without realizing what had happened, Darcy burrowed under his skin. Professionally, she’d earned his respect with her knowledge of football and her insights into what needed to be done to make the Knights a great team for years to come.

“We don’t agree on everything and our styles are different as night and day.”

“Different is an understatement. Darcy is a high-performance luxury automobile,” Sean said.

“And what am I?” Mac asked.

“A bulldozer. Chugging along. Knocking over anyone who dares stand in your way. The two of you were bound to clash.” Shaking his head, Sean chuckled. “Riley believes your differences can become a strength.”

“What do you think?”

“One of the reasons my wife is a successful businesswoman is because she knows people. Understands what makes them tick.” Sean’s face lit up. “Lord, I love that woman.”

Mac stared at Sean as he wondered how a man who used to be a prowling tiger, the biggest lady’s man he’d ever known, had transformed into a happily domesticated pussy cat.

Perhaps the key was to find the right person. Quickly, Mac dismissed the idea. A good woman could only do so much if the man was a worthless piece of crap. He should know. Where lost causes were concerned, Mac’s father topped the list. His mother learned the truth the hard way.
