Produktbeschreibung

THE LIBERTINE. St Andrews, Scotland: 1715. Her secret lover could save her from ruin, or guide her swiftly to it…

Lennox Taskill is a rogue, a seducer and rumored to be a witch. Lennox has seen his kind scorned and persecuted, and hunts endlessly for his sisters, Jessie and Maisie, who he wishes to protect. His only other loyalty is to his closest people, who he wants to take north to safety in the highlands of Scotland, 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, the beguiling Chloris Keavey presents Lennox with his greatest opportunity for distraction…and revenge. Little does he know she will engage him in ways he had never considered, heart, body and soul. Chloris is in danger of being turned out by her cruel and heartless husband because she hasn't 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 follows The Harlot with the engrossing tale …When Chloris, the cousin of Lennox's archenemy, hears a servant mention that Lennox's magic might be able to repair her barrenness, she heads to his home to beg for his help. What she doesn't expect is to fall in love. Walker deftly spins a captivating tale that will have readers holding their collective breath until the last page is turned." Publisher's Weekly.

Autorenporträt

Award-winning British author Saskia Walker first dreamed of writing her own stories when she discovered a handful of romance novels stashed away in her school library. An avid reader, she lapped up the adventures and the life-affirming emotion she found there.

As well as fantasy and romance, Saskia writes paranormal, historical and contemporary fiction, with a special interest in witchcraft. Saskia's short stories have now been published in over one hundred international anthologies and magazines. Her novels have been published by two New York publishing houses as well as several smaller publishing houses. To her absolute delight two of her novels won Passionate Plume awards, and her work has twice been nominated for a Romantic Times Magazine Reviewers' Choice Award. Her Witches of Scotland series was widely translated and became a Scandinavian bestseller. In 2015 she became a USA TODAY bestselling author. It's been an amazing journey. Saskia is now a full time author and she has many more stories to tell.

Saskia is happily settled in Yorkshire in the north of England, with her real-life hero, Mark, and a houseful of felines.
