Bride is Ali Hazelwood’s thrilling departure from contemporary romance into the darkly seductive world of paranormal fantasy. Known for her bestselling STEM romances (The Love Hypothesis, Love on the Brain), Hazelwood now brings her sharp wit, emotional depth, and sizzling chemistry to a supernatural tale of political alliances and forbidden love.

In this gothic-tinged world where vampires and werewolves coexist under a fragile peace, Misery Lark—daughter of one of the most powerful vampire leaders—is forced into an arranged marriage with Lowe Moreland, the alpha of the werewolf clans. Though the union is meant to strengthen a political truce, Misery has her own reasons for agreeing to it—reasons rooted in loss and vengeance.

But as her icy façade begins to thaw in the face of Lowe’s unexpected tenderness and strength, the line between duty and desire begins to blur. Together, they must navigate court intrigue, betrayal, and ancient animosities that threaten to tear their world apart.
