The women in her head are dead. The woman protecting her is dangerously alive.

At thirty-eight, Dr. Linnea Vantreese has spent five years holding together the ancient wards protecting her lakeside village. She's brilliant, stubborn, and dangerously close to breaking.

She's also the Seventh Daughter—the last surviving heir to a supernatural inheritance that has consumed six generations of women.

When the lake begins speaking in the voices of the dead and someone deliberately sabotages its protective wards, Linnea's powerful aunt moves the succession ceremony forward.

In twelve nights, six dead witches will take up permanent residence inside Linnea's mind.

Assuming someone doesn't kill her first.

Enter Greer Halvorsen.

Thirty-five, fiercely disciplined, and built like someone who knows exactly how to end a fight, Greer is a professional bodyguard with a complicated past and one unbreakable rule: the person she's protecting gets to make her own decisions.

Even when those decisions are dangerous.

Especially when the family paying her insists otherwise.

Greer expects threats, secrets, and difficult relatives. She doesn't expect a haunted mansion, a frozen lake that calls people by name, or a beautiful witch whose body is slowly being stolen by her ancestors.

And she definitely doesn't expect to fall for her client.

But every touch between them quiets the voices inside Linnea's head. Every stolen kiss reminds her what it feels like to belong to herself.

As the lake freezes and the dead grow stronger, their increasingly irresistible attraction becomes both a dangerous vulnerability and Linnea's greatest source of strength.

Because someone inside Sevenfold House is determined to complete the succession, and one particularly possessive ancestor has plans for Linnea's body that have nothing to do with protecting the village.

To survive, Linnea must uncover the truth about her mother's death, challenge two centuries of family magic, and trust the woman who loves her enough to let her choose her own fate.

A steamy, emotionally intense sapphic paranormal romance featuring a protective bodyguard, a powerful witch, forced proximity, ancestral possession, gothic secrets, dangerous magic, and a hard-won happily-ever-after.
