About this series
THE HARLOT Dundee, 1715. Her survival depends on a bargain struck with a handsome stranger…
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 at home in the Scottish highlands—where mystical ways are 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 emotion conflicts with their individual goals. 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, Jessie thrives—nourished by their physical passions—and everything Gregor thought he knew is rent asunder.
A bawdy historical, erotic romance novel. Please note: previously published with a different cover. This is an adult title and features explicit language and scenarios appropriate to the historical setting.
Selected Praise for The Harlot: "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 novel is one more delightful addition to Ms. Walker's literary portfolio and is one of those books that entertains as it educates. A reader cannot help but be better aware of the culture of those bygone days, yet the timelessness of the power of love to overcome the greatest of prejudices stands tall. I liked this novel a lot and wholeheartedly recommend it for the lovers of historical romance fiction."-Book Binge
