Connor McCoy's professional hockey nickname is The Hammer. And the first time we met, that's exactly what he did to me. He hammered orders, barked instructions, and interrupted me three times, then tried to walk off before I could tell him I was not his latest assistant.But the intense, hot-as-sin man spectacularly outdoes himself when he almost gets me charged with felony burglary. I can't avoid the annoying man either when McCoy hires my dad as his daughter's nanny, and he owns part of the hockey team where I'm interning. He's a ragged fingernail on the chalkboard of my life. Except when he's scorching my brain with his dirty mouth.And McCoy is unapologetic about wanting to keep me - for himself, and his sweet little daughter. But can we navigate through his troubled past, our vast differences, and his intense dislike of me befriending the entire hockey team? And how can a person crave someone, but want to kill him at the same time? I'm asking for a friend.
