Of course, Phoebe Faulkner had no idea that Jace Lennox was only targeting Ronan Langdon because of her.
He remembered the trouble he'd gone through to rescue Phoebe Faulkner from that cave, only for Ronan Langdon to whisk her away. Ronan had even shamelessly gotten himself bitten by a venomous snake, an incident Phoebe still remembered vividly. Because of that, Jace couldn't bring himself to be pleasant to the man.
Jace Lennox knew exactly how much Ronan Langdon cared for Rona Langdon, so he had no doubt that Ronan would approach Phoebe Faulkner for his sister's sake.

He hadn't wanted to reveal his feelings for Phoebe Faulkner, so he had held back time and again.
But Ronan Langdon had pushed him step by step, forcing him to stake his claim!
Their gazes met mid-air, neither man showing any sign of backing down.
