ABOUT THE BOOK

When Mercy abandons Captain Elijah Hale to search for her true identity, he goes after her. With the threat that bounty hunters might be hot on her trail, Mercy does all she can to stay ahead of the danger, frustrating both the bad men who are after her—and Captain Hale who wants to find her and escort her safely home. But when she stumbles upon clues that help her learn who she is and where she's from, the danger escalates and she has to learn to keep her friends close and her enemies even closer—if she can determine which is which!

MY THOUGHTS-I found this historical novel to be quite a delightful read. It reminded me of Gilbert Morris which is saying quite a bit as I am a huge fan of Gilbert Morris. The characters are quite human in their errors and faults but also quite interesting. Captain Hale is one of those southern gentleman that you adore. And Mercy I found to be stubborn, hard headed and yet at the same I also saw a young woman who was scared and determined to find out the truth. I did see at least one swear word just to warn you. Otherwise a great read!!
