The Harlot

by Saskia Walker

Published 31 May 2011

It is a Dark Era, one when a lusty lass will do what she must to survive. Even if it means bartering flesh for a palmful of coins...Forced to watch her mother burn at the stake, Jessie Taskill knows the danger of the gift she inherited-a powerful magic that must stay hidden. Until one night when she's accused of witchcraft and Jessie finds herself behind prison walls, awaiting certain death with a roguish priest unlike any man of the cloth she has known. In reality, Gregor Ramsay is as far from holy as the devil himself, but his promise of freedom in return for her services may be her salvation. Locked into a dubious agreement, Jessie resents his plan to have her seduce and ruin his lifelong enemy. But toying with Gregor's own lust for her is enjoyable, and she agrees to be his pawn while secretly intending to use him just as he is using her...

The Libertine

by Saskia Walker

Lennox Taskill is a dissolute rogue and powerful witch whose only loyalty is to his coven – his disdain for humanity sealed when his mother burnt at the stake.

So when the wife of a wealthy landlord comes seeking his help, the beguiling Chloris Keavey unwittingly presents Lennox with his greatest opportunity for distraction . . . and retribution. By failing to produce an heir, Chloris faces a terrible threat: being turned out by her heartless husband.

Now she vows to get with child, even if it means surrendering her body – and soul – to Lennox’s seductive magic. 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.

The Jezebel

by Saskia Walker

Published 1 January 2013

On the run from her powerful benefactor whose unscrupulous interest in her magic has forced her to flee, Margaret Taskill has never needed a hero more. So in order to gain passage from England to her homeland in Scotland, she plans to win over a rugged sea captain with the only currency she has: her virginity. Maisie submits to Captain Roderick Cameron's raw sexuality in search of protection, their initial attraction growing into unbridled desire and unleashing devastating powers within her. But the journey threatens to take a dangerous turn, forcing Maisie to keep close the secret truth about what she is, and keep the superstitious crew--unhappy at having a woman on board--at bay. 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 he's about to get much more than he bargained for. --
