Mercy Wilson is a draman—part human, part dragon.  She is also a journalist, and when her best friend Rainey comes to her for help finding out what happened to her sister, she jumps in head first.  All too soon they discover there is a larger conspiracy going on, but before they can find more clues tragedy strikes.  Mercy and Rainey are in an accident that may have been intentional.  Rainey passes on and now Mercy has five days to find those responsible for her death and kill them.  It is the only way to save her soul.  If a dragon passes and no one prays for their soul at dawn their soul is unable to move on.

Damon Ray is a member of the infamous Muerte dragons.  Muerte are trained from birth to become killers for the Dragon Council.  They clean up the Council’s messes.  Mercy and Damon meet under the worst circumstances and find they have a common enemy.  Damon isn’t keen on having Mercy along on his mission but finds that she has some lovely attributes.  He sees her mostly as a nuisance but quickly learns there is a whole lot more to this woman than her good looks.

Damon and Mercy are determined to get to the bottom of this mystery but face many obstacles along the way.  Danger abounds at every turn forcing them into some scary situations.  Will they survive the fight that lies ahead?  Can Mercy find Rainey’s killers and save her soul in time?

Mercy Burns is a sizzling mystery that captures you on page one!  Mercy and Damon go on one heck of a wild ride in Mercy Burns.  These two light up the pages with their witty banter and smokin’ hot chemistry.  Mercy is 100% an emotional person she’s leading with her heart while Damon insists his feelings don’t enter the equation.  I’m absolutely smitten with these two.  Mercy and Damon go on an epic journey together trying to escape danger while managing the burgeoning feelings between them.  Keri Arthur pens an enticing romance and a thrilling mystery.  Ms. Arthur makes Mercy Burns stand out not only because it’s a magical story but also because she has precisely the right amount of romance and suspense.
