(2011)
(The first book in the Taskill Witches series)
A novel by

Scotland: 1715. Forced to watch their mother hunted down and burned at the stake for witchcraft, the Taskill children were separated from each other in the aftermath. Now they are adults - passionate, driven and ripe with powerful magic that must remain hidden...

THE HARLOT... in times of persecution, a witch will do what she must to survive...

Accused of witchcraft like her mother before her, Jessie Taskill finds herself behind prison walls, awaiting certain death. All she craves is to be free of witch hunters and united with her siblings in the highlands - a place where witchcraft is not punished, but accepted.

Salvation comes in the form of a roguish priest, unlike any man of the cloth she has known. But Gregor Ramsay is as far from holy as the devil himself. Gregor does not believe in magic, but 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.

Then undeniable passion flares between them, and Jessie begins to resent Gregor's plan to have her seduce and ruin his enemy - especially when Gregor himself is so masterful and compelling. When the time comes for Gregor to send Jessie into his enemies lair, her witchcraft thrives - nourished as it is by their physical passions - and everything Gregor thought he knew is rent asunder.
