Bride

Description

Misery Lark, the rebellious daughter of a powerful Vampyre councilman, has lived her life as collateral—raised among humans until once again called back for a political purpose. This time, her mission: enter an arranged marriage with Lowe Moreland, the stoic Alpha Werewolf, to broker a fragile peace between Vampyres and Weres in the modern Southwest.

Misery isn’t interested in peace talks—she wants answers about her missing friend and personal autonomy. Lowe, wary and distant, doesn’t trust her. Yet as they navigate their tense union, sparks fly. Forced proximity, shared danger, and cultural friction build a slow-burn attraction that tests loyalties and redefines power dynamics.
