Widow — Natasha Brown

Lady Rayne's life at the convent awaits… if the ominous Black Shuck lets her pass. WIDOW, a novella, begins this series of full-length stories at a time when legend of this ghostly hound haunts the English countryside.

Lady Rayne has few options as a young widow. Either her father will marry her off to a wealthy nobleman -- no matter how old and disagreeable he may be, or she will become a nun like her aunt at Grimsford Abbey. The choice is easy: her interest in writing is not supported in the dark halls of her father's home. Rayne eagerly anticipates becoming a scribe and learning the art of illumination and book making. But first she must travel along the treacherous roads of East Anglia.

Far from the confines of Norwich, Rayne hears fables of an enormous ghostly hound called the Black Shuck. She tries to ignore them until she finds herself staring into its expressive brown eyes. With every heartbeat, her chances of reaching Grimsford Abbey disappear. If only she could live to tell the tale.

The legends are wrong -- mythological creatures are real, but they're not what you've always been told. Get lost in history with these strong female leads and their sexy alpha shifters to discover the truth behind the myths.
