Nikolai had let Lyla run after their first brutal collision in the alley, but distance didn’t loosen his grip. Watching her unravel only made the obsession worse—because every ounce of fear, fire, and defiance in her made him want her more.
She was perfect. Beautiful and defiant, soft in all the right places, and strong in ways that sent my imagination spiraling. I loved the way her voice had cracked when she’d told me to let her go…and then moaned when I didn’t.
~Nikolai Volkov, Eyes on You
About this Nikolai Volkov quote
This Nikolai Volkov quote comes from Eyes on You by Evie James, the first book in the Sin Syndicate series. After finally confronting Lyla in a dark Manhattan alley, Nikolai’s obsession sharpens into something more possessive, more volatile, and impossible to deny. Their story blends stalker romance, dangerous attraction, forced proximity, morally gray protection, and the kind of defiant heroine who makes a controlled mafia king lose his grip.
