A dangerous alliance between a Vampyre bride and an Alpha Werewolf becomes a love deep enough to sink your teeth into in this new paranormal romance from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love, Theoretically and The Love Hypothesis.
Misery Lark, the only daughter of the most powerful Vampyre councilman of the Southwest, is an outcast—again. Her days of living in anonymity among the Humans are over: she has been called upon to uphold a historic peacekeeping alliance between the Vampyres and their mortal enemies, the Weres, and she sees little choice but to surrender herself in the exchange—again...
Weres are ruthless and unpredictable, and their Alpha, Lowe Moreland, is no exception. He rules his pack with absolute authority, but not without justice. And, unlike the Vampyre Council, not without feeling. It’s clear from the way he tracks Misery’s every movement that he doesn’t trust her. If only he knew how right he was….
Because Misery has her own reasons to agree to this marriage of convenience, reasons that have nothing to do with politics or alliances, and everything to do with the only thing she's ever cared about. And she is willing to do whatever it takes to get back what’s hers, even if it means a life alone in Were territory…alone with the wolf.
The series
In a world where ancient treaties hold back the tide of bloodshed between humans and supernatural clans, a fragile peace depends on a single, politically orchestrated union—a human woman and a vampire prince bound by duty, distrust, and something far more dangerous: desire.
Read full series description
Set against a backdrop of eerie elegance and dark power plays, this gothic paranormal romance series pulls readers into a realm of uneasy alliances, where every kiss could be a betrayal and every whispered truth has teeth. The first novel, Bride, peels back the veneer of civility between species, revealing simmering tensions, power imbalances, and the unexpected vulnerability that can bloom even in the coldest of courts.
But this isn’t just a story about arranged marriage or supernatural politics—it’s about agency in the face of tradition, identity forged through resistance, and the fire that grows in the cracks of a carefully constructed lie.
Each installment in the series expands the universe—its tangled loyalties, its bruised histories, its simmering heat. With the upcoming second book, Mate, the story widens to include new characters like Serena Paris, a half-human, half-were hybrid with a target on her back and a dangerously devoted alpha at her side. These aren't just romances—they’re survival stories dressed in silk and shadow, as thrilling as they are intimate.
Haunting, seductive, and sharp with emotional stakes, this series invites readers to step into a supernatural world where nothing is ever as it seems—and love might just be the most radical act of all.
