This Witch Is Not Wicked

An ancient witch with a bad reputation.

A charming alchemist with a meddling mother.

The fake dating scheme that might save them both.

In the thousands of years she’s been alive, Enid’s had time to cultivate her reputation as the “wicked witch” of the bog who no one dares come near. Just how she likes it.

But when a sentient castle falls from the sky and lands in her home, Enid’s peace shatters. Now she has to contend with an entire city of people, including Nevan Wolfgang, the town golden boy.

And he has a proposal: he’ll date Enid to improve her reputation while she helps him get his marriage-obsessed mother off his back.

With her bog infiltrated, Enid doesn’t have much choice. It quickly becomes too much—the dates, the family dinners, the mysterious castle, and her growing feelings for Nevan, the only person who sees her as more than a witch.

But when a fake kiss feels too real, Enid’s worried if she doesn’t stop this, her cold, ancient heart is going to get broken. If she does . . . It might anyway.

This Witch Is Not Wicked is a standalone cozy, spicy romantasy with fake dating, a vine that thinks its a python, and a sentient castle.
