A forced marriage. A hidden agenda. An unexpected love that could ignite a war.

Misery Lark, the willful daughter of a powerful Vampyre councilman, is thrust into a marriage of convenience to uphold a fragile peace between the Vampyres and their mortal enemies, the Weres. Bound in an alliance she never wanted, Misery becomes a pawn in a dangerous game of power and politics.

Lowe Moreland, the commanding Alpha of the Weres who rules with justice and emotion, agrees to the union to protect his people. He never expected his fiery Vampyre bride to challenge everything he thought he knew.

But beneath the surface, Misery harbors a secret motive for agreeing to this marriage—one that has nothing to do with peace between their worlds.

As tension simmers and forbidden feelings emerge, will their unexpected connection spark harmony or ignite a devastating conflict?
