About The Ex-Hex of Hollow House

She left me twenty years ago. She hasn’t aged a day. And her house wants to keep me.

Kit Mercer can fix almost anything. Rotten beams. Failing foundations. Old houses abandoned by families with more money than sense.

She does not fix hearts, and she does not think about the woman who walked out on her twenty years ago without a word.

Then a contract too rich to refuse sends her to Hollow House, a dying mansion in the Massachusetts hills. She expects black mold and bad wiring.

She does not expect Elowen Vale.

Elowen hasn’t aged a day. She still knows how Kit takes her tea. She still looks at Kit like a wound and a miracle. And her house keeps opening doors onto rooms that shouldn’t exist, rooms where a younger Kit is still in her bed.

The truth is worse than being left. Elowen is a witch. Her family’s house keeps every mortal woman a Vale witch loves, and keeps them for good. Twenty years ago she didn’t just leave. She reached into Kit’s head and took the part where Kit chose to stay.

Now the house is awake, it knows Kit’s name, and every time she touches Elowen it pulls the walls a little closer.

Kit came to save a house. She’s going to have to tear out its heart first.

The Ex-Hex of Hollow House is a high-heat sapphic gothic romance with supernatural exes, forced proximity, only one bed, a haunted house with opinions, a ghost with no patience for melodrama, a contractor who brings her own hammer, a lot of on-page spice, and a guaranteed HEA. Book 1 of The Hollow House Romances.
