Tyler Griffin is gorgeous, ruthless, and arrogant. He’s also one of the best hockey players in the National Hockey League.

Not known to be a fighter on the ice, he has no problem dropping the gloves at the same time. The sweet side of Tyler: he has a twin sister that he would do anything for, including disregarding any rules if they mean he can’t protect who he loves.

I know all of this about Tyler because I know him. We grew up in neighboring towns. He played against my brothers and ironically, he still does because my brothers are also NHL franchise stars.

The rivalry was in high school. We’re all adults now. That means certain grudges should be forgotten . . .

Wrong.

The rivalry is very much alive. The hatred is visceral between my brothers and Tyler. As for myself, I have my own complicated relationship with my brothers. But things are about to get heated because the NHL team that I recently accepted a position to work for just traded for a certain star player: Tyler Griffin.

He’s the enemy to both of my brothers, but he’s also mine.
