Shauna Mairéad dives in where she left off in Malevolent Hearts for an emotional and complicated love story in Malicious Vows!

True love always finds a way and Shauna Mairéad proved that despite the seemingly insurmountable hurdles her leads Cadden and Beibhinn faced in achieving their happily ever after. Sensitively and realistically examining coming to terms with actions that most would find unforgivable, this author made a strong case for this couple to be together.

Cadden Connelly heir to a rival mafia family wore the title of villain in spite of his contrary heroic inclinations. His love of Beibhinn Devereux took precedence showing time and time again that his love for her would always come first even at the cost of his own happiness. Beibhinn stood on her own in a man's world insisting on being an equal and never tolerating less than those she interacted with. This was a heroine who had the ability to be vulnerable but the power and confidence to show it and not allow it to be a weakness.

The dynamic between Cadden and Beibhinn was intense with a history of shared sorrow, betrayal and tragedy that kept them on the edge of doom and ultimate happiness. The back and forth between following their hearts and letting go of the past that held them back moved this story quickly. The pages vibrated with their physical and emotional intensity. There was a depth to this relationship that made readers think as this pair struggled with their consciences and morals.

Shauna Mairéad writes with a passion and sense of adventure that translates to her readers. Her exceptional sense of plotting and twists keeps her audience anticipating the endless possibilities of her stories' outcomes. Malicious Vows takes readers to the heart-racing conclusion of Shauna Mairéad's dark and tempting Heirs of the Emerald Isles duet for a story that will leave them eagerly awaiting the next book she has in store for them!
