Thomas Byrne thought the worst thing his witch wife could hide from him was fine print.
He was wrong.
After standing beside Isadora Vane before the Penn Compact and defending the strange magical marriage neither of them expected to become real, Thomas discovers that one clause was never disclosed.
And neither was the real reason Isadora chose him.
His family owes an old debt.
Isadora has known about it for more than a century.
And with Midwinter approaching, someone intends to collect.
Thomas walks away furious—not because Isadora protected him, but because she never gave him the truth. For the first time since their impossible marriage began, he has to decide what he actually wants when the magic, the attraction, and his commanding wife aren't making the decision for him.
The answer surprises even him.
Thomas doesn't want to escape every term of their marriage.
He wants to rewrite them.
Because he likes asking Isadora for permission. He likes the way she takes charge. He likes being hers.
He just wants it to be his choice.
Their newly negotiated marriage will be tested quickly. An original contract has vanished from the Compact archive. A decades-old amendment doesn't add up. Hester Blackwood is preparing to call Thomas's family debt at Midwinter, and every answer leads to another piece of suspicious paperwork.
Fortunately, Thomas is still a claims adjuster.
And witches who have spent centuries trusting magic are about to learn what happens when a very determined mortal starts checking signatures, dates, amendments, and expiration clauses.
But Midwinter carries one final complication.
Thomas has always had the right to end the marriage with a single word.
This time, whatever comes next will have to be something they both choose.
Till Solstice Do Us Part is the second and final book in HEXED & WED, continuing Thomas and Isadora's story of magical contracts, an unconventional marriage, supernatural legal warfare, a dangerously confident witch wife, and the ordinary man who discovers exactly what—and who—he wants.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
