Dundee, Scotland: 1715. Accused of witchcraft like her mother before her, Jessie Taskill finds herself behind prison walls, awaiting certain death. Jessie longs to be free of witch hunters and reunited with her magical siblings in the highlands—where pagan witchcraft such as theirs is accepted. Salvation comes in the form of a roguish priest unlike any man of the cloth
she has known. Jessie soon discovers Gregor Ramsay is as far from holy as the devil himself!
Gregor doesn't believe in magic, but he has a canny plan to use the pretty harlot as bait to lure his enemy. His promise of freedom in return for her services could represent Jessie's passage home to the highlands, but neither are prepared for the undeniable desire that flares between them.
Their passion creates a deep bond, and Jessie soon begins to resent Gregor's plan to have her seduce and ruin his enemy. When the time comes for Gregor to send Jessie into his enemies lair, Gregor is torn. Then her witchcraft thrives—nourished as it is by their physical passions. As events unfold, Gregor soon finds everything he thought he knew and wanted is rent asunder.
"Take one gorgeous rogue seeking vengeance and a desperate woman charged with witchcraft, toss them together with a healthy dose of lust and you've got an enticing tale of revenge, justice and magic." RT Book Reviews magazine
"This is a very erotic read and one that gradually engages the heart and pulls the reader into the story. This is one of those books where I was so strongly tempted to go to the end and find out what happened to these two. It is historically accurate and within that context is an accurate reflection of that culture. I highly recommend it and feel it is really a very fine read." Judith, Good Reads reader
"The Harlot is about finding redemption unexpectedly, being able to trust and love again, as well as moving forward. I feel many historical romance readers and fans of Ms. Walker's will not be disappointed in this new work." Ali, Nocturne Romance reads
THE LIBERTINE
His witchcraft could save her from ruin, or guide her swiftly to it...
Lennox Taskill is a rogue, a seducer, and a powerful witch. He has seen his kind scorned and persecuted, and hunts endlessly for his sisters, Jessie and Maisie. His only other loyalty is to his coven, who he wants to take north to safety in the highlands, as soon as he reunites with his sisters.
Lennox’s disdain for humanity is sealed by the searing memory of his mother burning at the stake. So when the wife of a wealthy local landlord comes seeking his help through magic, the beguiling Chloris Keavey presents Lennox with his greatest opportunity for distraction...and revenge.
Chloris is in danger of being turned out by her heartless husband because she has not provided him an heir. She vows to find a way through witchcraft, but soon surrenders to Lennox’s seductive magic in more ways than one. Her desire for Lennox overwhelms her, and her fragile heart is at risk. But with a witch hunt brewing, Lennox and Chloris are soon risking everything for their forbidden nights of ecstasy...and to protect the secret that could cost them their lives.
"Walker deftly spins a captivating tale that will have readers holding their collective breath until the last page is turned." ~ Publisher's Weekly.
THE JEZEBEL
Fleeing from those with unscrupulous interest in her magic, Maisie Taskill’s goal is to find safety in the highlands, and her kin. In order to gain passage from England to her homeland she plans to win over a rugged sea captain with the only currency she has: her virginity. With her enemies on her heels, Maisie has never needed a hero more. Captain Roderick Cameron could be her man.
Maisie submits to Roderick’s raw sexuality in search of protection, but their initial attraction grows into unbridled desire, unleashing devastating powers within her. Then the journey takes a dangerous turn, because the superstitious crew are unhappy at having a woman on board.
With Maisie’s wealthy sponsor giving chase, Roderick must stay one step ahead of the British Navy, before Maisie’s seductive magic causes a full-scale mutiny. He may believe he has full command of his ship, but with a potent witch aboard he’s about to get much more than he bargained for.
"This stellar entry entertains with its unbridled sexuality and intelligent storytelling. Love overcomes all obstacles during a rocky voyage, both on land and sea, as Maisie and Roderick find their happy ever after. The crew of the Libertas adds its own dynamic to the tale." 4.5/5 from RT Book Reviews magazine.
