New Sapphic Paranormal: The Seventh Daughter’s Bodyguard — Hired to Guard a Witch, Haunted by Six Dead Women (2026)
Four days to Halloween, and the most haunted corner of the sapphic shelf just added a bodyguard. Maeve Hollow — the pen name for immortal women, houses that listen at the keyhole, and consent written into the fine print — has a brand-new release, and this one swaps the usual immortal×mortal setup for something sharper: a close-protection specialist hired to keep a living witch alive, and the six dead women who have other plans. It’s FF, Inferno heat, a complete standalone, and it lands exactly when you want it. Here’s the book, and the rest of the haunted shelf to binge after.
The Seventh Daughter’s Bodyguard — Maeve Hollow (Sapphic Paranormal)
“She was hired to keep the witch alive. Nobody said she’d have to share her with six dead women.” The Seventh Daughter’s Bodyguard gives you Greer Halvorsen, a close-protection specialist who takes the contracts nobody else will — the clients haunted by things that don’t fit in a threat assessment. Her new principal is a witch marked to die, living in a house with gothic family secrets and a body count going back generations. What Maeve Hollow does with it is pure forced-proximity dread: one bed, a touch-her-and-die protector who is not supposed to touch her, a “you’re fired” that nobody means, professional boundaries dissolving one haunted night at a time, and a possession plot that raises the stakes past the bedroom. Praise kink, light bondage, a safe word, hurt/comfort, a small town, found family, and — because Maeve knows her readers — a rescue dog. Inferno heat, standalone, HEA. There’s a free first chapter on the book page; start with the contract and see how fast it goes sideways.
More from Maeve Hollow’s haunted shelf
If this one gets its hooks in, the shelf runs deep. Start with The Witch in the West Wing, where a skeptical conservator opens the wrong wing of a haunted library and finds an immortal witch who needs seven surrenders to go free; A Curse Made for Two, in which an appraiser grabs the bare hand of a woman whose touch has burned everyone for a hundred years and doesn’t blister; and The Portrait of Lady Ash, a conservator and the witch who’s been painted shut for 159 years. We rounded up more of the shelf here: Maeve Hollow’s haunted shelf keeps growing. Browse every title on the Maeve Hollow page or at our books — most are free to read with Kindle Unlimited.
