The fateful day Mimi Marcus has dreaded begins with a phone call…
The wife of a U.S. Marine, Mimi spent countless nights worried that her husband Joel would fall in the line of duty. He had fought valiantly and served his country with honor. That’s exactly what they tell her when they deliver the news—Joel was taken by the enemy in Afghanistan. Her husband is dead.
In desperate need of closure, Mimi travels to the one place Joel still has ties—The Marcus Ranch in Texas, inherited by his handsome younger brother Austin.
New beginnings are only an illusion…
The closer Mimi grows to the Marcus family, the more she considers it home. But when suspicions of Joel’s past surface, Austin refuses to disclose family secrets—even to his brother’s widow. It’s only by accident she uncovers evidence of Joel’s tainted past. Devastated by his lies and betrayal, she slowly opens up to Austin, and together they unfold layers of pain and grief.
Mimi is sure she’ll never love again, but is Austin the man to prove her wrong? Then the unthinkable happens…
Just as Mimi finds new hope in a future with Austin, Joel returns home from war. Enraged, traumatized, and teetering on the edge of insanity, Joel confesses to a history of deception, revealing yet another secret—this one too terrible to forgive.
In an awful twist of fate, Joel proves marriage vows are made to be honored.
No matter what.

Novelist, movie addict, and animal lover, Cristina Slough is the author of Till Death Us Do Part, her debut novel.
Cristina has always been a bookworm, rarely seen without a pen and paper in her hand, she loves delving into a literacy fictional world of her own.
At the age of 11, her junior school teacher told her mother that she would be wasting her life if she didn’t become an author. Throughout her teenage years and beyond, her parents spurred her on to keep writing. She later began a career in commercial real estate, working in London’s West End, a corporate bubble where she was unable to fuel her passion to write.
It was on her Californian honeymoon in 2012 that the bug to write was becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. After visiting Yosemite National Park she was inspired by the natural beauty of the land that surrounded her. Holding a special place in her heart, Yosemite would later be written into her debut novel.
She finally gave up the ‘big smoke’ when her son, Lucas, was born in October 2013.
When Lucas was a newborn, Cristina was told to sleep when the baby sleeps. She never could. There was a calling inside her to write. After getting to grips with her new role as a mother, she began working a psychological thriller, but she couldn’t fully connect to the characters she created. She ditched the manuscript and started Till Death Us Do Part (Limitless Publishing, 2015).
Cristina is married to Adam, who runs a successful business; together they share their Bedfordshire home with their son, crazy white German Shepherd and three spoiled cats. They can be found trekking through woodlands, or around the many shops Cristina loves to explore. As a family, they love to travel frequently, the United States being a firm favorite.

Raised by an overly protective wulfkin pack, Daciana leaps at the chance to venture into the human world for her one-year independence ritual. But after someone steals the endangered bear cubs she’s been assigned to protect, she must locate them or lose her job and return home in disgrace. The sexy inspector on the case isn’t making this any easier. He knows nothing of her kind, and wulfkin rules forbid relationships with humans.
Newly divorced Inspector Connell Lonescu trusts no one but himself. He’s convinced relationships are a waste of time and thinks burying himself in work will ease the pain. Yet he’s attracted to the gorgeous and mysterious Daciana, even if there’s something slightly odd about her. Can Connell learn to trust the sexy but secretive woman?
Cloaked by T.F. Walsh (A Wulfkin Legacy Novella)
 Daciana is wulfkin, able to shift during the full moon and currently on her one year independence ritual before returning to mate and live with the pack. The problem? She wants more, she wants to feel free, to make her own decisions, to be her own person, but her year of freedom may be coming to a screeching halt if the two missing bear cubs she has been assigned to protect for aren’t found pronto.
Enter the human police, and one too hot to ignore inspector who looks at Daciana as a suspect when she cannot account for being in the woods in the middle of the night without a coat, without an excuse and a little too flustered to be convincing with every lie she tried. To tell the truth would reveal her kind to the humans and things are not looking good for our Daciana.
Love knows no rules and their close contact becomes too hot to ignore, but how does Daciana keep her secret and her human? Should she ignore her feelings, the raging inferno of their intimate encounters and focus on finding the bear cubs and disappearing?
Cloaked by T.F. Walsh is a light read filled with sizzling sexual heat, mistrust in relationships and those nasty deep secrets that could shatter the fragile relationship being built. Ms. Walsh takes us into a world that is filled with tension on every level, where desires and rules are at odds that could be deadly. A quick read, not overly detailed but you WILL feel the heat and taste the spice of all things taboo!
I received an ARC edition from T. F. Walsh in exchange for my honest review.

When a foreign tribe attacks the peaceful Onan people, a lonely outcast is forced to reveal her secret Gift – but will such power bring acceptance?
It is the darkest time in winter, when suns, moons, and stars all wane from the sky. In the Wolf clan, a baby is born with a powerful Gift, but dangerous omens brand her an Outcast, and the Elders name her Iluna.
Iluna struggles to find her place in the proud and distrustful Wolf clan, and as her powers bloom, she discovers a mysterious friend.
Dark magic, war, and treachery soon jeopardize the life of every clan member; many suspect Iluna and her Gift.
Is this Outcast girl to blame, or is she salvation?
‘The Secret Chronicles of Lost Magic’ is a collection of histories that will take readers on a journey into a rich new fantasy world. Enjoy stepping into the dark days of time in this sweeping prehistoric fantasy. ‘The Raven’ is the first Chronicle in a collection set in a vibrant new world by Aderyn Wood.
The Raven by Aderyn Wood
(The Secret Chronicles of Lost Magic, #1)  When the power of ancient myths and superstitions in the Wolf clan deem a newborn infant an Outcast, only the brave convictions of the tribe shaman saves her from being used as a sacrifice. Iluna grows up shunned, and with powers she must keep hidden away. Is she the curse her people fear or is she the salvation they will desperately need to survive as dark magic and evil treachery threatens to stamp out the lives around her? When war threatens to devour those around her, Iluna must take a stand, but will it be enough to save those around her or will their fears and suspicions come to life?
Enter into a fantasy world where primitive clans live their lives around faceless gods, superstitions and fear of anyone who is different. Follow Iluna’s struggles, her loneliness and discover the powers she possesses as Aderyn Wood transports us into another time and place where magic takes on a dark or light calling in a classic battle between good and evil. The Raven is fantasy that feels epic, like there is so much more to learn living in the world created by Ms. Wood in future additions to this brilliant series. Wonderful world building, deep enough to whisk the reader away, characters that sometimes feel fuzzy, almost as if saying their relevance will soon be nil and in-depth detail on the “stars” of this series, Aderyn Wood has done a wonderful job of stamping her style on the world of fantasy! What I enjoyed most was the slightly different, reader-friendly approach, never relying on a strict use of old feeling language, but giving these people a language of their own, intermixed between contemporary usage and the feeling of “long ago.” This is fantasy, fresh from the mind and heart of the author and it feels right!
