The Witch in the West Wing: A Steamy Sapphic Gothic Romance

I was hired to restore old books. Not fall for the woman the library refuses to let go.

At thirty-one, I have a canceled wedding, a six-month contract, and four hundred dollars in checking. A permanent position at Ravenscroft College could solve several of my problems.

All I have to do is catalogue the collection.

And leave before midnight.

Naturally, I stay late.

Behind a wall that isn’t supposed to open, I find Isolde Thorne: a witch in green silk with exquisite manners, an infuriating mouth, and two hundred and forty-two years of unfinished business.

She cannot leave her prison. She cannot lie to a precisely worded question. And she cannot touch me until I ask.

I should be asking how to get out.

Instead, I’m starting to wonder how many ways she can make me say please.

Seven magical silences hold the west wing shut. Breaking them means doing the things its founders believed a woman should never do—and admitting, out loud, that I want to.

Every forbidden request opens another lock. Every midnight visit makes it harder to pretend this is only about the work.

But the books are keeping more than secrets. The portraits are opening their eyes. And Isolde has a talent for telling me the truth without telling me everything.

I know how to save a damaged book.

Saving the woman I’m falling for might require trusting the one person who keeps leaving out the most important page.

The Witch in the West Wing is a high-heat sapphic gothic romance featuring a dangerously charming witch, a stubborn book conservator, dark academic secrets, sharp banter, and a hard-won happily ever after.
