If Misery and Lowe’s arranged-alliance sparks and uneasy trust hooked you, you’ll love how leopard alpha Lucas Hunter clashes with Psy aristocrat Sascha Duncan in Slave to Sensation. Their chemistry detonates across pack territory lines while Psy Council machinations close in, echoing the way vampyre edicts and were-pack rules squeeze Misery and Lowe. The romance burns hot against a backdrop of treaty-bending power plays, with plenty of sharp banter and territorial tension.
If the vampyre council versus were-pack maneuvering in Bride drew you in, Angel’s Blood delivers that same chessboard intensity. Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux is drafted by archangel Raphael to track a rogue, and every step drags her deeper into archangel politics and fragile accords—much like Misery navigating edicts and betrayals to survive her marriage to an alpha. The push-pull between Elena and Raphael mirrors that charged negotiation vibe you enjoyed with Misery and Lowe.
If you loved how Misery and Lowe shift from wary partners to something fiercely protective, Written in Red hits the same emotional notes. Meg Corbyn, a vulnerable yet brave cassandra sangue, finds uneasy refuge among the Others; wolf-shifter Simon Wolfgard moves from suspicion to guardianship in a gradual, tender arc. It’s the kind of careful, trust-first slow burn that echoes Misery learning to rely on a dangerous alpha without losing herself.
If Misery’s steel-spined resolve and razor wit won you over, meet Nevada Baylor in Burn for Me. She’s a savvy investigator who stands toe-to-toe with Connor “Mad” Rogan, a terrifyingly powerful Prime. Like Misery navigating pack dynamics and council mandates, Nevada works the angles of magical House politics, using brains and backbone to keep her autonomy—even as sparks fly with a man who could level a city block.
If the unlikely, duty-bound match of Misery and Lowe—and the way it warms into genuine affection—was your catnip, Radiance is a perfect follow-up. Human noble Ildiko and Kai prince Brishen wed to seal an alliance and initially find each other unsettling, even unattractive. Through shared meals, private jokes, and steadfast loyalty amid court tensions, their bond deepens—delivering that same enemies-to-allies-to-lovers evolution you enjoyed in Bride.
