The Bride by Ali Hazelwood is a dark, slow-burn paranormal romance that blends passion, mystery, and a touch of gothic intrigue.

Misery Lark has always been an outsider, even among her own kind. As the only daughter of a powerful Vampyre councilman, she’s spent her life avoiding the politics and power plays of their world. But when an unexpected alliance demands a marriage of convenience, Misery is forced to wed Lowe Moreland—the lethal, brooding, and utterly unreadable Alpha of the Weres.

Lowe has no interest in playing nice with a Vampyre bride, but he needs this union just as much as she does. Their marriage is supposed to be nothing more than a political move—cold, strategic, and temporary. But from the moment they’re bound together, an undeniable tension crackles between them.

As secrets unravel and buried desires surface, Misery finds herself drawn to the man she was never supposed to love. But trust doesn’t come easily when betrayal lurks in the shadows, and soon, she must decide if she’ll fight for her new home… and for the Alpha who might just be her fated mate.

🩸 Dark, steamy, and utterly addictive, The Bride is a must-read for fans of enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, and paranormal romance with bite.

⚠️ Warning: This book contains intense chemistry, supernatural politics, and an Alpha who will ruin you in the best way.
