Wrath and Mercy (Sins of the Virtuous Book 5)
Synopsis
Would you show mercy to the lover who
deserted you?
Finley
Helmer thought he had it all when Elina invited him into her bed. He thought he found passion and love beyond
compare. Instead he was thrown into a
life of smuggling black opals, drugs and aboriginal slaves. When he was charged with murder, he fled town
to escape the charges, vowing to return and ask his lover why she’d handed him
over to the police.
Elina Clemence was
ripped away from her home and the man she loved and brought to Australia to
start her life anew. Her father promised
her beauty and opportunity. What she found
was a cruel and abusive business partner, and a step-daughter who wanted to
destroy her.
Despite the
constant accidents following her and threatening her life, Elina sets herself
up as a profitable shipping tycoon, with control over most of the towns
supply. Despite her powerful position, her
heart still ached for the man she once loved who disappeared from her life without
a trace.
Finding themselves
passionately reunited, Finley and Elina discover the cruelty that tore them
from each other. As they search for
answers, they uncover the unrelenting wrath and vengeance of an opium addict
who will stop at nothing until she has possession of the black opals she thinks
they are hiding.
Will their love
for each other allow them forgiveness, or will they fall victim to the horror
that seems to be following them?

Excerpt:
Elina went quiet, watching Fin’s attention
return to the papers on the desk. She knew now wasn’t the best time to bring up
her own concerns. Still, he needed to know.
“My father told me we leave for Australia
as soon as he has our affairs in order.”
Fin looked up at Elina. “He told me before
the funeral that he thought it best to take you as far away from here as
possible. He believes what is being said about Ewan, and he doesn’t want those
he dealt with finding their way back to you.”
Elina lowered her gaze to her lap. “Will
you be coming with us?”
Silence surrounded them. Lifting her gaze
to him and seeing his stern expression, she felt her heart sink.
“Archie has instructed me to stay here in
England a while longer to finalize the last few shipments. It will be at least
a few months before I can get my own passage to Australia.”
His words stabbed at her heart. “I don’t
want to leave you,” she uttered, her voice laced with tears.
Getting up from his seat, he walked around
the desk. His hands going to her, he helped her to stand. “I’ll join you as
soon as I’m able. I promise.”
Her gaze held his as fear filled her. What
if this was the last time she’d ever see him? The mere thought pained her.
“This isn’t goodbye,” he told her, his
hand going to her face, his fingers stroking her cheek. “I won’t allow it to
be.”
About Faye Hall:
Faye Hall spent her early years
listening to stories about the families – including her own – who settled
townships in and around her hometown in North Queensland, Australia. The local townspeople, including her own
parents, told her stories of corruption and slavery, along with family secrets
and forbidden love.
Desperate to remember what she’d
been told, along with her already growing love of writing, Faye began to write
about the history of her local area.
Never could she have imagined the history of her small home town in
Australia would become a growing list of published books.
Faye’s passionate stories combine
controversial subjects and provocative encounters as her characters struggle to
survive the lifestyle in early rural townships throughout Australia. She explores slavery and abortion, drug
addiction and murder, as well as forbidden love and passionate affairs of the
heart.
When she’d not writing, Faye enjoys
sharing a bottle of wine with her husband in their ever-growing garden, and
encouraging the varied interests of their combined family of nine children.

Interview With Faye Hall:
1. Can you tell us a little about your books?
I write historical romance set in Australia. My current book,
Wrath & Mercy, is book 5 from the Sins of the Virtuous
series. This series is a sensual, romantic take on the seven deadly
sins and how they impacted on characters at the beginning of Northern
Australian settlement.
2. How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?
My 13th is just about to be released. My favorite is
Heart of Stone, a love story involving an Irish slave and a
trader trying to find a life of freedom for those still being sold at
auctions. There's also a slave trader desperately searching for a
French gold necklace.
3. Do you have a release day tradition?
Not really. If I can, I usually just share a bottle of wine with my hubby to celebrate.
4. If you could be friends with one of your character, which one would you chose?
Probably Caitlyn from
Lust & Chastity because she's not afraid to bend the rules to
help those in need. She's strong willed, and stubborn and reminds me a
lot of a younger version of myself.
5.
Do you have a special time to write or how is your day structured?
My
days are madness with the 5 kids still at home and school, so I
write where and when I can. I tend to get most done late at night and
early mornings.
5.
Do you work with an outline, or just write?
I do start with a very basic outline, but once I start writing it's up
to the characters to take the story where they need it to go.
6.
For a reader who hasn't read your books yet, which book do you suggest they start with?
Amorous redemption. I love that book. It's gritty. It's passionate.
Best of all it's set around the actual cattle station my great
grandmother owned.
7.
If you could spend 24 hours as a fictional character, who would you chose?
I want to be Belle from Beauty and the Beast just so I can have a look at that library.
8.
What writing projects are you currently working on?
I still have two
books to finish in the Sins of the Virtuous series, but after that's
done, I'm going to try my hand
at self publishing a few books with writings I did in my teen years, as
well as return to a few single titles.
