After learning what Scarlett survived in Spain, Lucian’s vengeance became more than bloodshed. It became a vow: every hand that hurt her would answer, and every stolen moment of tenderness would be replaced by his.
She was so touch-deprived it bordered on cruelty, and I planned to make up for every stolen moment—to hold her, to care for her, until every fiber of her body and every corner of her soul recognized she was loved by me.
~Lucian Byrne, Eyes of the Unholy
About this Lucian Byrne quote
This Lucian Byrne quote comes from Eyes of the Unholy by Evie James, the second book in the Sin Syndicate series. After Scarlett reveals the full truth of what was done to her in Spain, Lucian’s need to protect her turns into something deeper than vengeance. He wants to erase the cruelty she endured with care, patience, touch, and unwavering devotion. Their story blends enemies to lovers tension, forced proximity, vigilante justice, dangerous protection, touch-her-and-die devotion, trauma recovery, and a morally gray Irish mafia enforcer who would burn the world to make her feel loved.
