Rory James faces her worst nightmare when she discovers she must collaborate with Connor O'Neil on her dream project. Connor happens to be her childhood nemesis and current next door neighbor. The situation gets worse when Connor blackmails her into participating in something she finds morally questionable. He even steals her hot cocoa, the very drink she needs to cope with his presence. Rory arms herself with an endless supply of hot cocoa and a trusty pair of pliers. She tells herself she can survive this partnership if she resists Connor's bad boy appeal. But her resolve weakens as the project continues. If she fails to maintain her defenses, Rory knows the consequences. She might spend more nights behind bars and collect additional restraining orders. Worse yet, she risks losing her heart to the very man who destroyed her life years ago.
