Scarlett had survived the stage performance, the blood, and Lucian dragging her out of The Black Ledger like a man possessed. But alone in his penthouse, the memory that unsettled her most was not the violence—it was realizing his fury had been about saving her.
The moment I’d turned and caught the fury radiating off him, dark and lethal. I’d known the universe had jolted then. I’d felt it. But never in my wildest dreams had I imagined Mr. Shadowman being that unhinged for me.
~Scarlett Hayes, Eyes of the Unholy
About this Scarlett Hayes quote
This Scarlett Hayes quote comes from Eyes of the Unholy by Evie James, the second book in the Sin Syndicate series. After Lucian tears Scarlett out of The Black Ledger and brings her to his penthouse, she begins to process the brutal intensity of his reaction. What looked like violence directed at her from the shadows starts to feel different—dangerous, obsessive, and impossible to ignore. Their story blends enemies to lovers tension, forced proximity, vigilante justice, dangerous protection, touch-her-and-die devotion, and a scarred heroine who slowly realizes the monster watching her may be the one most willing to protect her.
