Conan knew Anastasia wanted him, and every part of him wanted to give in. But beneath the temptation was something deeper than desire: the ache to protect her, understand her, and help the woman with no past choose the future she deserved.
I stayed silent, watching her breath. I wanted to freeze time, to hold on to this moment forever. No woman had ever affected me this deeply. Maybe it was her innocence—the fact that she was a blank slate due to her amnesia, free to write her story anew without the weight of past memories. God, how I longed to help her fill those empty spaces.
~Conan Thorin, Day Shift
About this Conan Thorin quote
This Conan Thorin quote comes from Day Shift by Evie James, the second book in the Broken Heroes series. During a steamy night by the pool, Conan is torn between his desire for Anastasia and his need to protect the woman still recovering from amnesia. What begins as attraction becomes something far more complicated: a longing to be part of her healing, her memories, and the life she might build after the crash. Their story blends medical romance, amnesia romance, mafia danger, protective hero devotion, he-falls-first intensity, heart-stopping suspense, and a tattooed golden-retriever nurse who wants to love the woman he was never supposed to touch.
