Daddy's Maybe
The ultimate daddy by default—stuck paying child support for a kid who isn’t his—is now an advocate for fathers who are being victimized by the system.
In this follow-up to Daddy By Default, it’s five years since Parker Redman’s life changed dramatically. Now he’s making a name for himself across the country as an outspoken advocate for father’s rights. After his horrific experience of being forced to pay child support for a child who wasn’t biologically his, he vowed to change the system one desperate father at a time.
Serena has had enough. Everywhere she turns, she’s reminded of Parker and his noble work for helpless fathers. But she’s about to blow the lid off his hustle. Now that she’s revealed her daughter’s real father, she’s going on record to expose him for the hypocrite she thinks he is.
Upon her release from prison, Lachez Baker is livid to learn of her son’s plans to marry. At seventeen, Junie is headstrong and determined to live the good life at any cost. But when Lachez finds out about the cougar that’s latched on to her son, she’s determined to stop this travesty before wedding bells ring.
Eboni Newton is fed up with her baby’s daddy. As far as she’s concerned, Shawnathon is a deadbeat and she’s determined to make him pay for all the pain he’s caused her.
These men are at risk of destruction at the hands of these women who will try to get what they want by any means necessary—but will they succeed?

The Final Frontier in Search of Riches
Parker, a male advocate, has established a male-oriented non-profit organization to help men as he has been victimized and recognizes the anger that can result from challenging paternity by a system that, from his perspective protects females but hangs the men out to dry.
Ebony’s eye is so much on the prize of entrapping an athlete that she either does not know or particularly doesn’t care who the father of her child may be.
Lachez’s incarceration is counted as a ‘bump in the road’ until she realizes that her children grew up without her and formed relationships outside of her parental consent. In her quest to scam men, she scams herself out of parenting her children.
Serena became so hyped on the authenticating her claim of non-support that she counts moot vital information and puts herself at the center of controversy without concern for her child.
“Daddy’s Maybe” is a poignant expose into the distance some women are willing to go to establish themselves as femme fatale, to be admired, and how/why some men esteem women in such a negative light. As a strong side bar, questions of the legitimacy of our legal system concerning child support which may be victimizing males inordinately when paternity has not been established. Pat Tucker, a job well done. I applaud your choice of topic as “Daddy’s Maybe” is timely. I especially like that this was taken from the male’s perspective. It’s realistic of some women.

This sounded like a good concept, but I gave up after a few chapters. The dialogue was just too stereotyped and made me uncomfortable. Do people really talk like that?
