Laura Hile

Mercy's Embrace Laura Hile

Twelve-thousand a year and an extensive estate can gild a sow's ear, or so Elizabeth Elliot has always supposed. But now that she has fallen for the dashing Patrick Gill, Elizabeth is almost ready to give up pursuing Mr. Rushworth's fortune.
Painfully aware of her bruised pride and vulnerable heart, Elizabeth can only despise herself for loving so common a man. It has never occurred to her that darling Mr. Gill guards a secret of his own--and that he just might be responsible for her father's disappearance.
Jane Austen's beloved Persuasion provides the backdrop for this delightful romp set in Regency England.
Mercy's Embrace is a novel in three parts:
* Book One: So Rough a Course
* Book Two: So Lively a Chase
* Book Three: The Lady Must Decide
If you enjoy a smart, sparkling Regency romance in the classic "Heyeresque" tradition, then you will love Laura Hile's Mercy's Embrace.
