   Summary

   Mercury hated this. He’d known what he was doing when he accepted Salem’s offer. Thorn was a lot of things, but betrayal wasn’t something she suffered lightly.

   He thought he’d been prepared, bought into the assurances from his new boss that she would have extra men watching him. He should have known it was all talk. False promises just to get information about her rival.
