Braxton Thorin had survived the ambush, the prison, the escape, and being handcuffed to the most lethal woman he’d ever met. But sitting across from Daria in a stolen pocket of calm, he realized the danger wasn’t only whether she might kill him—it was how badly he wanted to know her completely.
I didn’t know what was going on between us, but one thing was clear: this woman was unlike anyone I’d ever met, and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to run from her iciness or straight into her fire.
~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 Daria helps Braxton escape a Russian prison, the two take refuge in an abandoned farmhouse, still handcuffed together, and a pull neither of them fully understands. Braxton sees both sides of her—the icy operative who can kill without hesitation and the fiery woman who keeps saving him despite every reason not to. Their story blends enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, secret identity, fish out of water danger, kidnapping, romantic suspense, Russian mafia stakes, and a war-zone romance where attraction is as dangerous as the enemy hunting them.
