Anastasia had been a Jane Doe, a mafia princess, a runaway bride, and a woman trying to reclaim a life others had tried to own. But when Conan found her again, his love gave her the courage to say the truth out loud: from the moment she crashed into his emergency department, he had been the man who saw her, protected her, and understood her before she understood herself.
“From the moment fate brought me into your emergency department, you became the best example of what a man should be. Honest, even when I couldn’t be truthful about my past. Kind, when no one else was. Giving, to a complete stranger without hesitation. Funny, when things were at their worst. You protected my heart, my soul, and my body. You understood me even when I didn’t understand myself.”
~Anastasia Volkov, Day Shift
