Bride

Misery Lark, the only daughter of the most powerful vampire councillor in the Southwest, is once again an outcast. Her days of anonymity among humans are over: her father is turning to her to broker a historic peace alliance between vampires and their mortal enemies, the werewolves, leaving her no choice but to accept the exchange. Again... Werewolves are ruthless and unpredictable, and their alpha, Lowe Moreland, is no exception. He leads his pack with absolute authority, but always fairly and, unlike the vampire council, with compassion. The way he keeps a close eye on Misery makes it clear he doesn't trust her.

And rightly so... Because Misery has her reasons for agreeing to that marriage of convenience, reasons that have nothing to do with politics or any alliance, but with the only thing that has ever mattered to her in life. And she is willing to do whatever it takes to recover what she has lost, even if it means living alone in werewolf territory; alone with the wolf.
