When Mercy Brown accepts a position as companion to the sister of Jonah Barnes, a wealthy and rugged former sea captain, she has no idea that she'll soon be entangled in their quirky family's secrets.
Prowlers, disturbances from the attic, and eerie howls on the property are just the start. After meeting several strange members of the household, including a groundskeeper who works by night and the mischievous Maxwell Barnes, Mercy wonders if she should flee while she can. Her fondness for her young companion, Faith, and her deep attraction to Jonah prevent her from leaving.
Jonah's mixed messages regarding his feelings for her leave Mercy confused. With encouragement from Faith, she begins her first novel, an erotic adventure featuring a hero modeled after Jonah. When pages from it go missing, she fears that her gruff employer will discover the nature of her feelings for him and possibly dismiss her. That might be for the best, because if she stays, her attachment to the Barnes family could endanger her life.
Note: Captain's Mercy was previously published. It has been re-edited and includes two extra scenes after the main story. Captain's Mercy is an opposites attract historical romance with suspense, some spice, and a story within a story.
