Everybody Loves Mickey — Therese M. Travis

He's a saint with a tarnished halo, and Aubrey Thomas can't stand him -- or can she? Handsome fireman, Mickey Hurst is loved by all. He volunteers at the local parish where Aubrey Thomas works as an administrator. He sings in the choir. He leads the youth group. He even acts as the church handyman, but Aubrey knew him before he became Saint Mickey -- when he told her he'd have to be drunk to kiss her -- and he was. What's so infuriating is that despite his horrible admission, Aubrey loves Mickey as much as everybody else. Mickey doesn't blame Aubrey for disliking him. After all, he kissed her when he wasn't sober -- and insulted her, to boot. Aubrey deserved a better man -- a Godly man. But, since that fateful kiss, Mickey's drawn closer to the Lord. With the intercession of God and the matchmaking parish staff, Mickey prays that this Christmas he will be able to prove to Aubrey he's now the man for her.
