THE HARLOT. 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 quickly 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.
This is a paranormal, historical, erotic romance novel set in Scotland.
