Elsa a vingt et un ans quand elle épouse Alexandre Duval, l’héritier d’un empire culturel new-yorkais. Elle l’aime depuis ses seize ans. Lui accepte ce mariage arrangé par son père, sans passion, sans haine. Pour lui, Elsa est une épouse parfaite : discrète, dévouée, sans ambition. Il ignore tout d’elle — même sa voix. Car Elsa est une soprano lyrique exceptionnelle, un « accident de la nature » que son professeur appelait autrefois. Mais après la mort de ses parents à dix-sept ans, elle a tout arrêté. Elle n’a plus jamais chanté. Et Alexandre, en cinq ans de mariage, ne l’a jamais entendue. Tout bascule le jour où elle découvre que les « vitamines » qu’il lui donne chaque matin sont en réalité des contraceptifs. Qu’il l’a délibérément empêchée d’avoir un enfant, alors qu’elle pleurait après chaque test négatif. Qu’il retrouve Viviane, son amour de jeunesse, mezzo-soprano du Metropolitan Opera. Elsa part pour Londres avec une valise, les bijoux de sa mère et une décision irréversible. Là-bas, elle va peu à peu retrouver sa voix, ouvrir sa propre académie vocale, et rencontrer un homme qui, pour la première fois, l’entend vraiment. Pendant ce temps, Alexandre comprend trop tard ce qu’il a perdu. Et d’étranges révélations émergent. Entre renaissance artistique, suspense et roman d’amour, Mariage impossible est l’histoire d’une femme qui apprend à exister par elle-même et qui devient, note après note, libre.

Dr. Aria Blackwood thought she could outrun her past by hiding in the small town of Silverwood. She was dead wrong. Three years after losing her sister in a tragic accident, Aria's ability to sense animal emotions has grown stronger—dangerously so. But nothing prepares her for the electric shock that courses through her veins when she meets Kael Nightshade, the mysterious ranch owner whose gray eyes seem to see straight into her soul. Kael knows Aria is his mate the moment their eyes meet. This Alpha werewolf has been waiting centuries for her, but revealing his true nature could shatter the fragile trust building between them. Every stolen glance ignites a fire neither can ignore. Every accidental touch sends waves of desire surging through their bodies. The pull between them is magnetic, primal, undeniable—but Kael's secret could destroy everything. When Aria begins dreaming of silver moonlight and howling wolves, when her mysterious abilities spiral out of control, she realizes Kael isn't the only one hiding something. The power awakening within her is ancient, dangerous, and tied to a bloodline she never knew existed. But their passion-filled nights under the stars are cut short when masked hunters arrive in Silverwood, led by someone from Aria's past who should be dead. As Kael's pack comes under attack and Aria's powers explode to the surface, she must choose between the love that burns and consumes her and the sister she thought was lost forever.

Mi esposo, Don Reginald, y mis padres me arrojaron a la prisión la misma noche en que le di a su heredero. Todo porque mi hermana, Felicia, me tendió una trampa. Ella afirmó que yo le regalé un caballo salvaje en las carreras familiares, un caballo que ella sabía que no podía controlar. El animal se volvió loco, y pisoteó a un senador hasta matarlo. Con el FBI pisándonos los talones, toda la familia me obligó a cargar con la culpa. Tres años. A Reginald no le importó que acabara de tener a nuestro hijo. Me presionó, una y otra vez: —Era tu caballo. Si no se lo hubieras dado a ella, los federales no perseguirían a Felicia. Solo cumple la condena. Cuando salgas, seguirás siendo mi Donna. Tres años después, regresé. Nada había cambiado. Seguían eligiéndola a ella. Incluso, el hijo por el que sangré, ahora llama a Felicia "Mamá". Me mira de frente y me ignora, a mí, su propia madre. No peleé. No como la antigua yo. Simplemente me alejé. Pero cuando finalmente desaparecí para siempre, Reginald perdió la cabeza. Destrozó el mundo entero, suplicándome que regresara. Que volviera a ser su Donna.

I used to be a top ballet dancer. The year I was diagnosed with a spinal hemangioma, my boyfriend Julian Blackwood said, "Wherever you go, I go." We'd been together three years. He walked beside me as I went, step by step, from the most luminous dancer on that stage to a woman in a wheelchair. Every time the nerve pain hit and I collapsed, he was the one who lifted me off the floor. Every round of electrostim and acupuncture, he sat in the corridor outside the therapy room and waited for me to come out. Before I got sick, he promised me—the night I finished my final performance of Swan Lake, we'd sign the marriage license. He'd bought tickets for that show three months in advance. I never stood on that stage again. And the marriage license never came up. Until the morning I noticed the collar of his white dress shirt carried a smudge of lipstick that wasn't mine. I heard him on the balcony. A woman's voice on the other end. "Mr. Blackwood, you left your jacket at the hotel last night. I'll bring it over." I stared at that smear of red, and something in me snapped. I laughed. "Send me to Westbrook. The locked-down rehab facility. I don't want to drag you down anymore." Something flickered in his eyes—a brief, animal panic. Then he nodded. He thought I meant rest. He didn't know I'd already signed the papers to donate my body to science. I was going there to die.

Sybil is unique, gifted with a certain type of magic. One she is going to use to save not hurt. She'll do what she must, even if that means crossing some lines to get what she needs. What she doesn't realize is that her stubborn determination puts her right in the path of Alpha Prime Aries. He's intimidating and clearly used to being obeyed. Who in their right mind would actually disobey him though? He's the leader of the strongest wolf shifters there are. Aries knew the moment he laid eyes on Sybil she is his mate. Even if she doesn't know this. What he does know is that his mate has a will of iron and a fire in her soul that she hides behind a polite mask. He's not fooled, and her stubbornness will make it hard for him to protect her. Sybil has no idea the dangerous world she just stepped into. Werewolves are not the only type of creature out there. Aries knows he needs to get Sybil to understand just how dangerous things are. Especially since she is the mate of the Alpha Prime and that puts a steep price on her life. __ “If I said no?” Sybil asked. At her words it looked like Aries's gaze went solid black. “Do you want to learn what bonding is by force or choice?” He asked her in a growl. “In this I will be an animal before a man.” Sybil saw the truth in his gaze and it made her heart slam against her ribs.
