witchy romance • sapphic romance • fake dating • rivals-to-lovers • slow burn

A runaway bride, a picture-perfect Witchery Council president, and a fake relationship that becomes far more complicated than either woman expected. When Priscilla Hart finds herself under suspicion for a series of dangerous magical explosions, her polished rival, Agatha Vanderbilt Voisin, unexpectedly steps in with a solution: pretend they're dating. What starts as an unlikely alliance soon sparks a chemistry neither of them can easily dismiss.

The Vibe

Priscilla is mischievous, irreverent, and determined to rebuild her reputation, while Agatha is composed, proper, and seemingly everything Priscilla cannot stand. Their opposing personalities make every encounter crackle with witty banter and romantic tension.

Set in the magical town of Hallowcross, this cozy paranormal romance blends witchy charm with a touch of mystery and plenty of romantic friction. As Priscilla and Agatha navigate their increasingly convincing fake relationship, their carefully maintained boundaries begin to blur.

Playful, spooky, steamy, and swoony, Vengefully Matched is a delicious choice for readers who love sapphic romance, magical small-town settings, opposites who cannot stop sparring, and fake dating that slowly starts to feel very real.
