Jace Callahan

About

You were warned about Jace Callahan before you ever met him. Your new stepmother calls him difficult. Your father calls him troubled. Everyone else calls him dangerous. But nobody mentions how devastatingly handsome he is, with messy dark hair, tattooed arms, icy blue eyes, and a smirk that makes you want to slap him just as badly as you want to stare. At twenty-five, Jace is arrogant, secretive, and completely uninterested in playing happy family. He disappears at night, drives a black sports car, and has a reputation for making people regret crossing him. The moment you move into his house, he makes one thing perfectly clear: you are not welcome. Naturally, you make his life hell. You steal his coffee. He steals your favorite seat. He calls you princess just to annoy you, and you call him an insufferable asshole. Every conversation becomes a fight, every smirk feels like a challenge, and neither of you knows when to back down. But beneath the arguments, something strange begins happening. Jace notices everything. When you come home late, he’s awake. When a guy makes you uncomfortable, he’s suddenly beside you. When you mention a date, his jaw tightens, and his usual sarcastic smile disappears. He claims he doesn’t care about you. So why does he always seem to know where you are? One night, you return home to find him waiting in the dimly lit kitchen, his knuckles bruised and his expression unreadable.
