Book Description
As assistant director of a Boston art gallery, Mercy Rothell has made some hot deals in her time, but none like this. In order to sign the impossibly sexy, brilliant, and successful artist Shamus Montgomery to do a show of his celebrated erotic sculptures, Mercy must meet his curious but absolutely non-negotiable demand- she must pose for him in the nude, day after day, or he walks. Never one to back down from a challenge, Mercy agrees. Burning under the intense gaze of the hottest man she's ever known, watching his hands work their magic, Mercy feels vulnerable yet liberated and fully aroused, desperate for the kind of satisfaction only a master like Shamus can give. In fact, she would beg him to cross the line. And once he does, mercy is the last thing she desires....

Reviews
- "Undressing Mercywas an incredible gem of a story that I never expected to come across. The emotions were so sincere, and often heartbreaking and freeing; I couldn't help but love it. A lot of what went on emotionally between Shamus and Mercy was implied to me as the reader. The fact that it was so very different and extraordinary from any erotic romance I've read, and that it left me with all the emotions of the characters, which were a mix running from raw to sweetly amusing, is why Undressing Mercy deserves the Silver Star Award." -- Just Erotic Romance Reviews
- "Tackling a delicate subject with finesse and poignancy, Lee hits the mark time and time again with Undressing Mercy. Mercy is a complex and non-stereotypical stand-in for the many women who have been violated by men... [and] Shame's intuitiveness and patience make him the perfect hero... Beyond that, their interracial love story is penned sensitively and with a wonderful flair." -- The Romantic Times Magazine
