Mercy at the Gate

By Laura Carpenter

Maeve never wanted a life on the road. She wanted safety. A small house. A future she could trust.

Instead, she finds herself balancing motherhood with midnight gigs, legal threats from London, and the feeling that her gate-and her life-could be forced open at any moment. When Nolan steps into her world, steady and unflashy, Maeve must decide whether love can exist without spectacle, without rescue, without noise.

Set in Belfast kitchens, church halls, school gates, and tour buses, Mercy at the Gate is a story about quiet courage-about keeping records, holding boundaries, and saying, "No, he's ours," as many times as it takes.

Tender, gritty, and unapologetically Irish-because sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stay.
