Shadows - What it's about (Now entitled "The Amazing Shrinking Query")

Here is the query for Shadows (so that you know what it's about :) )

Newly widowed Rachel Bracket escapes to Montana only to find danger, family secrets and a vicious surprise waiting in her backyard. 

Rachel arrives into Sullivan to settle an unexpected inheritance that will fund a new life with her own antique store, far from the tortuous memories she struggles to put to rest.  But while exploring the beautiful landscape behind her grandmother’s home, Rachel learns the Bitterroot Mountains conceal secrets and creatures from horror stories.  She soon realizes those creatures stalk her in search of revenge for their pain and suffering.  And they know more about her ominous heritage than she does. As she begins learning more about the family she never knew, a bounty hunter searches for Rachel, believing she is the key to a commission he’s only dreamed of. Only the haunting voice of a stranger, Leonardo, offers protection.  Until he unveils himself – a man fused with a lion.  Terrifying, impossible, yet somehow alluring.

Rachel isn't sure who she can trust. But when the interior of her home is ripped apart by an intruder and a friend attacked, it's clear there is no safe haven. All she's certain of is that she is no longer running from her past, but trying to survive to make it to her future.
