BULLY SERIES

WADE THORNFIELD
THE DEVIL IN SAPPHIRE

Wade runs The Velvet Parlor with an easy smile, a glass of wine, and a perfectly clear understanding that everything—and everyone—has a price.

✦ THE HOOK

Wade Thornfield is the charming, sexually confident proprietor of The Velvet Parlor, an upscale Briarwick brothel with criminal connections and expensive tastes. He can make exploitation sound like hospitality, coercion sound like business, and a threat sound almost kind.

✦ WADE

Wade is affable, smooth, playful, and commercially ruthless, the sort of man who lounges on a velvet sofa with a glass of wine while deciding exactly how useful someone might be. He runs The Velvet Parlor for profit first, taking a forty percent cut, managing workers and clients, and treating distress as an inconvenience unless it threatens business. His charm is genuine as a mannerism, not proof of kindness; he can flirt, joke, and discuss an ugly arrangement with the same relaxed ease. Beyond the brothel, Wade deals in forged identification, costly favors, territorial disputes, and the quiet coercion of Briarwick's underworld.

“Forty percent goes to the house. You keep the rest. Simple enough, isn't it?”
