So when Olivia finds herself in a state of romantic conflict and seeks out Gideon for advice, he's only too pleased to oblige. Only problem: The man Olivia is speaking to is Thorn. And now it's too late for him to tell Olivia the truth . . . Thorn always believed that Olivia was too smitten with Gideon for her own good. So what's the harm in steering her away from him?
