A War-Torn Countryside Is No Place for a Lady
Mercy Lytton is a lady like none other. Raised amongst the Mohawks, she straddles two cultures, yet each are united in one cause. . .to defeat the French. Born with a rare gift of unusually keen eyesight, she is chosen as a scout to accompany a team of men on a dangerous mission. Yet it is not her life that is threatened. It is her heart. Condemned as a traitor, Elias Dubois faces the gallows. At the last minute, he is offered his freedom if he consents to accompany a stolen shipment of French gold to a nearby fort—but he is the one they stole it from in the first place. It turns out that the real thief is the beguiling woman, Mercy Lytton, for she steals his every waking thought. Can love survive divided loyalties in a backcountry wilderness?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Michelle Griep’s been writing since she first discovered blank wall space and Crayolas. She seeks to glorify God in all that she writes—except for that graffiti phase she went through as a teenager. She resides in the frozen tundra of Minnesota, where she teaches history and writing classes for a local high school co-op. An Anglophile at heart, she runs away to England every chance she gets, under the guise of research. Really, though, she’s eating excessive amounts of scones while rambling around a castle. Michelle is a member of ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers) and MCWG (Minnesota Christian Writers Guild).

MY THOUGHTS

I have quickly become a fan of Michelle Griep's writing, and her latest release only solidified my admiration. The Captured Bride meets all my criteria for a compelling novel; a setting so real that my living room disappears as I am transported across time and space, authentically sketched characters that garner my admiration as well as my sympathy, a riveting adventure with enough danger and suspense to keep my heart pounding and my fingers rapidly turning pages, and a subtle but stirring romance. Griep perfectly paces this tale and tucks in a few surprises along the way. My jaw still hasn't recovered from its drop at the perfect, albeit unexpected, conclusion. Don't miss The Captured Bride and add this gifted author to your must-read list!
