In this seductive paranormal romance from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love, Theoretically and The Love Hypothesis, a disgraced Vampyre bride enters a perilous marriage with an Alpha Werewolf—and finds a love fierce enough to bite back.

Misery Lark has always been an outsider—first among Vampyres, then among Humans. Now anonymity is no longer an option. As the only daughter of the Southwest’s most powerful Vampyre councilman, she’s been summoned to honor a fragile treaty between Vampyres and their oldest enemies, the Weres. Her part in the pact? A political marriage she never asked for… and has already endured once before.

The Weres are brutal, instinct-driven, and deeply suspicious—and their Alpha, Lowe Moreland, embodies all three traits. He governs his pack with unwavering dominance and a surprising sense of justice, but one thing is unmistakable from the moment Misery arrives: he is watching her, assessing her, waiting for her to slip. And he has every reason to distrust her.

Because Misery’s agreement to this union has nothing to do with diplomacy. She’s hiding a private mission—one that burns hotter than loyalty, duty, or the simmering attraction she can’t afford to acknowledge. The only thing that matters is recovering what was stolen from her, even if it means living isolated in hostile Were territory… trapped with the wolf who could destroy her or become the one person capable of understanding her.

But as enemies circle and secrets sharpen into weapons, Misery and Lowe’s uneasy alliance begins to shift into something dangerous, intimate, and impossible to deny.

In a world built on ancient grudges, surrendering her heart might be the most treacherous choice Misery ever makes.
