You must fall before you can rise…Former Delta Force Operator. Scarred inside and out.In the military, Mercy had seen and done things most people could never imagine. Now working for In the Shadows Security, dangerous jobs are his specialty, the more difficult the better… until his boss assigns him to protect a spoiled, rich woman who never shuts the h*ll up. He has two ways to stop her … He has two ways to stop her running mouth, but either could get him fired.
However, first impressions can be deceiving, and underestimating this woman is a mistake Mercy never intended to make. One that might not only threaten his job but the carefully built barriers he’s surrounded himself with.
Witness to a horrific crime, Parris must leave Vegas immediately. After her best friend hires a professional to get her out of Nevada and keep her safe, she discovers there’s more to this emotionally crippled “bodyguard” than meets the eye. As a therapist, Mercy’s a challenge Parris can’t ignore, even when his walls seem too high to breach.
In the end, will Mercy not only be able to keep her safe but allow her to save him? Or will he let the woman who’s become his addiction simply walk away?
Note: Mercy is the first book of the Guts & Glory series, a six-book spin-off from my Dirty Angels MC series. While it’s recommended to read both series in order, each book can be read as a stand-alone. As with all my books, this has an HEA and no cliffhanger or cheating.

This book gives you what you want. To feel these characters. I honestly wanted to reach in a slap mercy. Books like that are amazing. The author makes you feel the characters i truly loved this book. Thank for awesome first in this series. Cant wait for more.
Starts with a bang! Great, sexy beginning to a new series for Jeanne St James. I love her MC series so much, and this book introduces a whole new crew of loner alpha men for us to fall in love with while also intermingling lots of visits from old MC friends. I loved Parris. It’s such a breath of fresh air to have an older heroine (38) matched up with someone her own age. She’s successful and seems to have everything going her way. My only criticism is that she’s a little too naive and oblivious to recent violent events in her life. This may move the plot forward, but her cavalier attitude with her safety (and others) is eye-roll worthy. Mercy was gruff, damaged and desperately in need of Parris and her commitment to him, even if he resists at every turn. I loved how this was a “happy-for-now” ending, but with the underlying promise of forever. It just seemed so right for both of these characters and their story. Highly recommend the characters and storytelling here. I wouldn’t say you have to read her previous MC series, but it certainly helps and adds to the enjoyment. Bring on Ryder!

Have Mercy!!!
Jeanne StJames delivers another addictive series!! Book 1 in the Guts and Glory series, and spin off from DAMC, Mercy is all that and more!! From the minute you start on the first page, you will not be able to put it down. Guaranteed 10 star MUST read!!!
Mercy and Parris (Rissa) have an explosive connection. From the minute they meet you can feel the deep soul connection between them. I never believed in love at first sight but after reading Mercy, I believe in soul mates.
Characters, storyline, everything will have you turning the pages and not wanting the story to end. Be ready to carve some time out and read Mercy nonstop.
Bottom line Mercy is addictive!! Thank you Jeanne StJames for another fantastic ride!! Please keep them coming.
