Mercy | M. Scofield

They called it fraud. She called it survival.
Elle Whitmore was only 21 when the system caged her - not because she wanted money, but because she needed time. Time to save her daughter's life. Now Eden is gone, and Elle's sentenced to Fox River State Penitentiary: an all-male prison with concrete walls, clashing egos, and predators wearing the faces of men.

She's sweet, but not soft. Smart, but quiet. And in a place like this, kindness can be fatal.

Caught between gangs, guards, and ghosts, Elle's only hope is to survive without surrendering who she is. But when a quiet man with blueprints inked across his skin starts drawing the attention of everyone - including her - Elle finds herself pulled into something far more dangerous than her conviction.
