Jonas Castillo.
For years I’ve

themselves. Until… her. Jessica JJ Jones. The bane of my existence. A bright
light in the dark. The crack in my armor. A loud, argumentative beautiful
crack in my armor.
But first,
there’s a more immediate concern. JJ is running scared. And to protect her I
might have to break the vow I made years ago.

Excerpt
The elevator
doors slid open and Jonas stepped into the entryway. It was dark and quiet, the
only sound coming from the direction of Matthias’s room. That kid never slept
no matter what time of day it was, but he also didn’t ask questions. So he was
off the hook.
Then he stepped
into the living room and was confronted with a tight, toned ass in skintight
leggings.
All the parts of
him that had been asleep fired to life. Jonas sucked in a deep breath as JJ
shifted her position at the window, the globes of her ass bouncing slightly
with the movement. His dick tried to follow her. It should have been a
welcome diversion. Hell, at least he wasn’t depressed and feeling the sting of
failure anymore. But this was JJ. The woman lived to torment him. So as
spectacular as that ass was, it was the last thing he wanted to see in the
middle of the night coming off a tough case.
“Why are you
still awake?”
It came out
harsher than he’d intended, but there was no need to apologize. JJ didn’t
offend easily, probably because she thrived on insults and could throw out
verbal daggers with the best of them. As he’d expected, she merely turned her
head slightly to acknowledge his presence before turning back to the night sky,
dismissing him.
“Why can’t you
mind your own business?” she asked in a deceptively sweet voice.
Never mind that
just a few moments ago, Jonas had wanted nothing more than to climb into bed
without having to engage anyone. Now he stepped farther into the room,
instinctively drawn to her. There was just something about Jessica Jones that
he could not resist. It was sick in a way, but he got off on fighting with her.
That smart mouth and those killer curves were the perfect combination to make
his dick hard while simultaneously pissing him off.
It was a heady
combination.
“What would be
the fun in that?” Jonas asked, speaking truthfully.
She turned from
whatever it was that was holding her attention outside and eyed him with a
sneer. “I would ask if you had a hot date but that’s doubtful. Jackasses really
aren’t in this season.”
Now that hurt.
“Women love me.”
She sniffed and
slid him a sidelong glance. “Frankly, I don’t see the appeal. But then again
there are people who like candy corn and peeps. There’s really no accounting
for taste…or lack thereof.”
“Hey! Candy corn
is awesome.” Jonas might have to rethink his taste in women if she was dogging
on candy corn. How could you not enjoy something that was pure high-octane
sugar? “You’re probably just too bitter to enjoy it.”
Her eyes flashed
and for a moment there was something behind the look that made him regret his
choice of words. “Too bad for you, you’ll never have a taste.” Her words
carried a hint of hurt with them and he wanted to bite off his tongue.
They snarked at
each other and played fast and loose with their words, but he would never
actually want to hurt her. It bothered him that he even could. In his mind, JJ was
as invincible as her comic book character namesake, and finding a chink in her
armor was both disturbing and endearing.
“I’m sorry, I
didn’t mean anything by that.”
“Whatever.
You’re probably right. I’ll leave the sweetness to you. I just happen to like
my men a little bit…stronger with a hint of a bite. Same way I like my
whiskey.”
