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.

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 hasnt provided him an heir. She vows to find a way through witchcraft, but soon surrenders to Lennoxs 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 Lennoxs archenemy, hears a servant mention that Lennoxs magic might be able to repair her barrenness, she heads to his home to beg for his help.
