"a tale of passion beyond the constraints of time"

Is it possible to love someone so completely that your souls will find each other again?

Mercy is living in two times, the present where her brother just died leaving her as his heir, and the past where her husband just died leaving her in control of their indentured servant James.

In the past, she is torn between her need for James' touch and the moral code of the time. Add into the equation the bubbling revolutionary war, and the attraction she feels for Capt. Randall Bryant, and it is no wonder Mercy is uncertain what she wants. Although there is no doubt James inflames her body and has a hold on her heart.

In the present, she is plagued by dreams of the past and a look at a possible future with Cullen. Reminded of the Captain every time she looks at him, she can't help her longing for James and the passion they shared, even as she looks towards a possible future with Cullen.

Treave Harte pulls on your heartstrings with HIS MISTRESS, as we feel James' frustration at not being able to shout to the world his love, and Mercy's blossoming self-confidence thanks to the love of a man in each time. Filled with passion and emotion, HIS MISTRESS may only be sixty-four pages long, but it is one hot read.
