Nothing Else Matters by Jean Stokes

Is there anything more aggravating than a man who is incredibly buff, gruff, and acts all tough when I’m around him?
Yes. Yes, there is.
A man who is buff, gruff, and acts all tough––and has a baby daughter that he looks after too.

I can’t pretend that I’m not affected by the guy that I met at the courthouse, especially since I know he has a daughter that he adores.
I had been minding my own business, like I always do, working my job at the front desk and not looking for any drama. Until he stormed into my life.
Jamie Armistead is in the middle of a rather messy divorce and custody battle, and yet, all I can think about is how big his arms are… and his heart.
It’s knowing that underneath his hard exterior and reinforced armour, there’s a big softie, that’s driving me nuts. His drive to have full custody of his daughter is admirable, but his gruffness is terrifying. Perhaps I want to cause trouble for myself, because, in the end, nothing good can come of this.

With a vengeful ex-wife in town, I know that thinking and wanting Jamie is a disaster waiting to happen, and yet he refuses to leave my thoughts.
