Blurb: After graduating from the prestigious Dewhurst University, Mercy Montgomery finds herself in a bit of financial trouble: over $108,000 worth of financial trouble, in fact. She can’t find a job to save her life, and with bill collectors constantly at her heels, she has no idea how she will ever come up with the money needed in order to keep her head above water. 

Mercy’s monetary worries seem to be over after a chance meeting with mystifyingly pale Michael Graves, who offers her a high-paying job at his company, Dignitary. But there’s a catch; the seemingly harmless Dignitary is an underground organization that offers human chaperones to wealthy bloodsucking clients. 

As if congregating with the undead doesn’t make life complicated enough for Mercy, there’s a savage killer on the loose who appears to have a craving for her blood. Soon Mercy is torn between a dark and dangerous underworld of supernatural desire and a simple life of practicality, and business magnate Robert Bramson is the man she blames for her confusion. If he just wasn’t so damn sexy… And dangerous. As the killer closes in, Mercy realizes that she must make a decision. But will she make her choice too late?

Mercy is your average college grad. She's from a small town in Florida and moved to California to attend a prestigious university. After graduating with her Bachelors in Psychology, she's struggling to find a job, pay off her loans, and make her late-grandmother proud. With feisty, uninhibited roommate Liz keeping things more than interesting, Mercy finds herself with an unbelievable opportunity to finally rise into the black.

Mercy quickly learns that there are two main rules in this vampire business - you can't tell anyone and NEVER get romantically involved with a client. But keeping her nightly escapades from observant Liz proves more difficult than she thought. Well, that and the complete attraction to her first official vampire date, who also happens to be one of the richest, sexiest, and most dangerous vampires.


Mercy's Debt is Sloan Archer's writing debut and what a hit! What was originally intended to be a short story, quickly developed into a full-blown novel, complete with excellent character development, intelligent, well-developed writing and some smolderingly sexy scenes - what's not to love?!
