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 Review:
 Mercy has amnesia and if that doesn't beat all, she has bounty hunters hot on her heels. As she runs from the likes of people like that she is at the same time trying to recover her memory. Elijah Hale has ventured half-way across the country to help Mercy. After receiving word that there is a bounty on her head, his thoughts change to those of protecting her and to find the bounty holder.

 After seeing a portrait of a military man, Mercy is convinced this will help her get her memory back. Upon arrival with Elijah and their young, black friend Isaac to a plantation linked to the portrait, they make some startling observations. The family that they find there keep calling her by another name. They keep expressing their love and concern but Mercy feels that maybe something just isn't right about this at all.

 The authors have done a fantastic job on the sequel to the Traces of Mercy book, that was simply breath taking. Finding Mercy, was a story filled with action, suspense, and romance. It is as if the authors was writing a movie instead of a book. Rich, colorful characters and tons of intrigue.
