'From the minute I opened CRAVEN'S BRIDE I was hooked. Read this interesting book for a wonderful vacation to an English village and a look at love. Ms Shaw had me so engrossed when reading one morning that I was half-hour late for work. Now that is lost in love!'
SUZANNE COLEBURN (EDITOR - BELLES & BEAUX of ROMANCE, USA)
'CRAVEN'S BRIDE is reminiscent of the old Gothic romances. Danielle Shaw pulls the reader in with deft characterization and a light touch in her handling of a dark subject.'

For ten years, Max Craven has avoided visiting his home whenever possible. The village is haunted by memories - particularly of the death of his wife and daughter. Now though, he is back and one of the first people he meets is Alison Webb, the young woman he holds responsible for his child's death!
Yet Max is attracted to Alison as he has never been attracted to a woman in his life. Can he forgive her, or will he have to forget her?
CRAVEN'S BRIDE is set in the Northamptonshire villages and countryside where Danielle now lives. The church and cottages in the story all exist and the stable block was once part of Harlestone House, rumoured to be the inspiration for Jane Austen's Mansfield Park.
