Lucinda has always been a meek, submissive young woman, and she's in for a loop when she is thrusted into the pack Alpha's home. She hadn't anticipated being considered let alone selected as his bride, yet her fate ensures that she's mated to one of the meanest, cruelest Alphas known to their species. He's unhappy with her, but left without much choice, as his time to expand his bloodline is running out - and at this point anyone will do. Lucy is the only eligible woman who doesn't cower or argue when he tells her what to do. But perhaps the reserved, foreign woman has much more to her than he initially thought. Braxton may be in for far more than he anticipated when he took Lucinda's hand in marriage. Please leave comments! I read every one and they help my writing improve!
