A dangerous alliance between a Vampyre bride and an Alpha werewolf becomes a love deep enough to sink your teeth into in this new paranormal romance from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis.Misery Lark, the only daughter of the most powerful Vampyre councilman of the Southwest, is an outcast - again. Her days of living in anonymity among the Humans are over: she has been called upon to uphold an historic peacekeeping alliance between the Vampyres and their mortal enemies, the Weres, and sees little choice but to surrender herself in the exchange - again . . .Weres are ruthless and unpredictable, and their Alpha, Lowe Moreland, is no exception. He rules his pack with absolute authority, but not without justice. And, unlike the Vampyre Council, not without feeling. It's clear from the way he tracks Misery's every movement that he doesn't trust her. If only he knew how right he was . . .Because Misery has her own reasons to agree to this marriage of convenience, reasons that have nothing to do with politics or alliances, and everything to do with the only thing she's ever cared about. And she is willing to do whatever it takes to get back what's hers, even if it means a life alone in Were territory . . . alone with the wolf.

Unha adolescente narra os acontecementos que marcaron os meses previos a un devastador incendio. O lume arrasou Neboeiro, a aldea da súa avoa, e cambioulle a vida para sempre. As primeiras experiencias sexuais, o acoso escolar, a morte e o forte vinculo coa sua avoa e cunha cadela abandonada determinan o devir da historia, ambientada nun rural descoidado que esmorece.Cunha voz que escribe dende a inxenuidade, a tenrura e o humor, esta novela de Sara Vila Alonso explora a intimidade dunha nena que se fai adulta nun mundo hostil e violento, pero onde tamen afloran os afectos, a amizade e o pracer. O incendio e un relato sobre o lume, ainda que o importante sexa todo o que sucede antes de que comece a arder.
