A sultry, steamy series with a Southern heart...
In the town of Mercy Gulf, where the gardens grow lush, the churches are packed on Sunday, and everyone is watching—desire is a dangerous thing, and Gracie June Temple is learning that the hard way...
The Sinners of Mercy Gulf series is a slow-burn southern romance steeped in heat, hypocrisy, and longing—where temptation is currency, virtue is performance, and love refuses to follow the rules. Each book peels back another layer of the town’s moral rot, asking what redemption really costs when everyone has something to hide...
Gracie Temple has built a life on being wanted, slipping easily into the desires of men who never choose her in daylight. It works, until it doesn’t. When a charming outsider arrives with money, confidence, and an unsettling interest in who she is beyond her body, Gracie begins to wonder what it would mean to want something for herself.
As sermons grow sharper, gossip turns cruel, and the town’s quiet hypocrisies surface, Mercy Gulf tightens its grip on those who dare to step out of place. Desire becomes dangerous. Power shifts hands. And love, if it comes at all, will come at a cost.
Into Temptation is a sultry, slow-burn Southern romance about longing, control, and the moment a woman decides she’s done being used.
Summer Sloan was born in the South and has never stopped loving its contradictions—the manners and the menace, the sunshine and the storms. She writes stories steeped in heat, longing, decadence, and quiet depravity, where desire simmers just beneath the surface and nothing is ever as innocent as it looks. When she isn’t writing, she’s thinking about gardens, grits, and the trouble people get into when they resist temptation.
