Charlotte

Bishop Academy: Book Two

She broke the rules to survive. He was never supposed to notice. Now protecting her secret may cost Charlotte the boy who finally sees the real her.

Charlotte Palmer has spent her life being told she isn’t pretty enough, powerful enough, or ambitious enough to satisfy her demanding mother. At Bishop Academy, where bloodlines determine a witch’s value and the council controls whom students are permitted to love, Charlotte hides behind dark clothing, heavy makeup, and a carefully guarded heart.

Then she meets Nate Howard.

Kind, handsome, and completely non-magical, Nate sees beyond Charlotte’s defenses. One touch leaves her burning hotter than any spell, and joining the swim team gives them the perfect excuse to spend time together. For the first time, Charlotte feels beautiful, desired, and free to imagine a future of her own choosing.

But their growing connection is forbidden. Charlotte must conceal her powers from Nate while hiding their relationship from her mother and the witch council. As unwanted suitors, family expectations, and dangerous magical politics close in, her emotions begin affecting her abilities. Spells explode. Lightning erupts. Secrets become harder to contain.

Worse, someone within the magical community has taken a troubling interest in Charlotte’s rapidly developing power.

Caught between the world she was born into and the boy she cannot forget, Charlotte must decide how much she is willing to risk for love. Because at Bishop Academy, following her heart could lead to expulsion, punishment—or a fate far more dangerous than either.
