I m NHL defenseman Lance Romero, AKA Lance Romance." I m notorious for parties and excess. I have the most penalty minutes in the league. I get into the most fights. I take the most hits. I m a player on and off the ice. I m the one women with no inhibitions want. Not because I like the notoriety, but because I don t know how to be any other way. I have secrets. Ones I shared with the wrong person, and she used them against me. Sometimes she still does. I should cut ties. But she makes it difficult, because she s the kind of bad I deserve. At least that s what I believed until someone from my past gets caught up in my present. She s all the good things in this world. She lights up my dark. I shouldn t want her. But I do. I should leave her alone. But I won t."
