Braxton Thorin thought surviving an ambush in a Ukrainian war zone was the worst trouble he could find. Then Daria Melnichenko kicked open the door, dragged a half-dead man in behind her, and fought him like a wildcat.
In that split second when I locked eyes with this devastatingly lethal masterpiece of untamed beauty—mine searching to understand, hers hardened in resolve—I knew one thing with absolute clarity: she wasn’t the kind of woman a man walked away from unscathed. She fought like a demon, looked like a damn dream, and if I had any sense, I’d focus on survival instead of how much I wanted to pin her down for entirely different reasons. Whether I made it out of this fight or not, I was already a goner. She wasn’t just dangerous—she was the kind of trouble men lost themselves in.
~Braxton Thorin, Mission Shift
About this Braxton Thorin quote
This Braxton Thorin quote comes from Mission Shift by Evie James, the third and final book in the Broken Heroes Trilogy. After a humanitarian mission in Ukraine turns into a deadly ambush, Braxton finds himself trapped in an abandoned house with Daria Melnichenko, a lethal Russian double agent whose first instinct is to attack and whose very existence threatens him. Their story blends enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, secret identity, fish-out-of-water danger, kidnapping, romantic suspense, Russian mafia stakes, and the kind of war-zone survival that makes trust both fragile and impossible to resist.
