Maeve Hollow
High-heat sapphic gothic and paranormal romance for readers who like immortal women, haunted houses, and heroines who read the fine print.
About Maeve
Maeve Hollow writes unapologetically high-heat sapphic romance with teeth: vampires and witches who have waited centuries to be asked, houses and libraries that listen at the keyhole, and thoroughly modern women who walk in with a briefcase and refuse to be frightened on schedule. Expect gothic atmosphere, sharp banter, slow dread, fast heat, and love stories where consent is the whole plot.
Signature Maeve: immortal × mortal age gaps, ice queens, forced proximity, haunted houses, explicit feeding, negotiated power exchange, touch-starved heroines, found family among the dead, and guaranteed romantic HEAs.

Where to Start

The Witch in the West Wing

The Ex-Hex of Hollow House
Unaging witch + the contractor she left twenty years ago + a house that keeps what it loves. A stolen yes, a plumb bob that won’t hang straight in a false room, and a curse that comes out with a framing hammer. The Hollow House Romances, Book 1.
The Vampire’s Private Detective
Vampire club owner + the private detective she hires to solve her own murder + a cold case from 1798. Six gold guineas, memories kept in violet glass, a pulse counted out loud, and a bite that has to be asked for in words.
The Moonlit Bride
Cursed immortal bride + the wedding planner hired to finish her ceremony + a wedding party that died in 1815. A fake engagement the house believes, only one bed, and a marriage contract written on her skin in silver. The Blackthorn Brides, Book 1.

FAQ
Are Maeve Hollow books spicy?
Very. Maeve is Fractal Enigma’s sapphic gothic and paranormal pen name, with explicit on-page intimacy tied closely to trust, consent, and the central relationship. Check the content warning on each book page.
Are the books dark?
Dark-edged, not grim. Expect real stakes, blood, and ghosts with grievances, and expect the heroines to win. Every book ends in a happily ever after.
