When I say I tore through this, I mean I devoured Salt in the Wound in one afternoon. In this glorious prequel to Salt Kiss we see how Mark and Isolde meet and how their relationship develops before Salt Kiss. Isolde had wanted more than anything to join the church, she felt it was her calling but her father and future husband had other plans. When Isolde’s father told her that he had arranged for her to be married she was furious and upset. When she spoke with her Uncle Mortimer he told her that she could use the position to get information for the church. She could not believe her family wanted her to marry a man who owns a sex club. But what she didn’t realize is how much her body would want the pain and debasement she could give her. Mark had fooled that crushed her. Was any between them thing real? And why did he send Tristian his nephew-in-law to retrieve her?
