Nearly twenty years after he was wrongly convicted of setting the fire that killed his father, Lincoln Fox returns to Rebel Ridge, Kentucky. There, deep in the Appalachians, the truth of that terrible night lies buried—and he’s sworn to uncover it.

His plans take an unexpected turn when, in the midst of a blizzard, he rescues Meg Walker from her wrecked car. Suddenly Linc discovers another reason to clear his name.

Meg, his high-school sweetheart, had always believed in his innocence, and if he wants a future with her, he has to show the world proof that she was right. As the community chooses sides, those who once let a teenage boy take the fall for their crime are forced to raise the stakes. They kidnap Meg, leaving her to the mercy of the mountain.

And a second rescue may be more than even Linc can manage…

Reviews for 'Til Death

[jenniferrobb · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Lincoln Fox and Meg Walker were friends and lovers until he was falsely accused and convicted of killing his father. Lincoln did his time and then stayed away from his former hometown until an accident brings visions of his father telling him to return. Meanwhile, Meg married another man then divorced him when he went to jail for murder. On his deathbed, he confesses to the brother of the man he killed that he buried money he took from his victim and that Meg can tell him where to find it. Rather than just ask Meg, the man stalks and terrorizes her.The characters are well done. The Walker family is a close knit clan that can count on each other in times of trouble. Lincoln comes across as a man doing his best to "do unto others" and help them out, even if he is a bit too infallible to be realistic. The story follows Lincoln's efforts to prove himself innocent and find out who really did the deed as well as trying to find out who is stalking Meg. I normally do not like sex scenes and particularly not those outside of marriage, but there was only one in this book and considering that if Lincoln hadn't been framed, the two might have been married long ago . . . I didn't downgrade my rating for this book.

An enjoyable romantic suspense with plenty of action that moved right along. It had a good plot and I liked the rebuilding of the relationship. Both the hero and heroine characters felt realistic. Convicted murderer Lincoln returns home after 18 years to clear his name and encounters childhood sweetheart Meg.

Meg Walker Lewis is a strong and independent woman. The love of her life was torn away from her at the age of seventeen when he was falsely accused, wrongfully convicted and sent away to prison. Later her husband was rightfully convicted of murder; she quickly divorced him. Meg has spent the better part of the past decade building a life. She lives on her family's farm with a few chickens and a milk cow and earns a living by quilting. All of Meg's family lives close by: brothers, sisters-in-law, mother, stepfather, and stepbrothers. Meg wishes for more from her life but is content with what she has for the moment. Things quickly change when she realizes someone has broken into her house while she was asleep! Things go downhill from there because her stalker isn't willing to leave her alone, even when his identity is revealed.Lincoln Fox's life was turned upside down when he was a teenager. His father was beaten to death, the family house burned to the ground, and Lincoln was wrongfully convicted of the crime and served four years in prison. He thought he'd never return to Kentucky after he left and he's made a nice life as a contractor in Texas. After a work-related accident, Lincoln has a dream about his father and returns to Kentucky to clear his name. Upon his arrival in Kentucky, Lincoln quickly becomes involved in local happenings that involve his former love, Meg Walker Lewis. Lincoln is able to identify the stalker and then saves Meg after a car crash. The two quickly find that there's still a spark between them and decide to see where it takes them. 'Til Death is the third book in the Rebel Ridge series featuring the Walker family by Ms. Sala. Meg is an accomplished woman and although she feels her life is missing something (or someone), she's more than willing to maintain the status quo. Lincoln Fox is an accomplished man and only wants to clear his name and find his father's murderer. He doesn't even realize his life is missing something until it states him in the face. The romance between Meg and Lincoln seems to take up where it left off. Their lives quickly become intertwined as they search for new information to clear Lincoln's name and protect Meg from her stalker. I found 'Til Death to be a fast romantic mystery-suspense read that featured some twisted bad guys. I know when I start reading a book written by Ms. Sala that the bad guys will get their comeuppance and that good will prevail (a typical HEA [happy ever after]), but I never know how it will be achieved and the journey taken is never disappointing. For those of you that love romantic mystery-suspense and HEAs, you'll want to read 'Til Death.
