Scozia, 1715. Chloris Keavey è una donna maltrattata dal marito perché non riesce a regalargli l'erede che crede di meritare. Così decide di porre rimedio una volta per tutte all'infertilità, rivolgendosi a Lennox Fingal, nemico giurato di suo cugino Tamhas. L'uomo è il capo di una congrega di maestri delle arti antiche e le propone un rituale. L'alchimia tra loro è così forte che lui finisce per sedurla, anche se solo per vendetta nei confronti del rivale. Ogni incontro di passione è magico, al punto che Chloris scopre una sensualità che non pensava di possedere, ma sarà l'amore, più potente di qualsiasi sortilegio, a cambiare il loro destino. Contro le ire del cugino, da sempre ostile alla stregoneria e contro la furia di un marito tradito, avvicinati da un segreto che li unirà per sempre.
Other books by Saskia Walker
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 of these stories, but always felt dismay when the bedroom door closed the reader out. She vowed that in her stories all the passion would be right there on the page.
Saskia began writing in the late 1990s. By that time she'd traveled the world, gained a B.A. in art history, an M.A. in literature and the visual arts and she'd worked in several diverse careers - but the stories in her head simply had to be written.
It is the combination of potent eroticism and strong storytelling that has become the leading characteristic of Saskia's work. Fascinated with seduction, she loves to explore how and why we get from saying "hello" to sharing our most intimate selves in moments of extreme passion. She writes across genres, often incorporating elements of history, the paranormal and the fantastic in her work. As well as many novel and novella-length publications, Saskia's work has now appeared in more than one hundred international anthologies. Her erotica has also been featured in several international magazines including Cosmo, Penthouse, Bust, and Scarlet. Her novels DOUBLE DARE and RAMPANT both won Passionate Plume awards and her writing has twice been nominated for a RT Book Reviews Reviewers' Choice Award.
Nowadays Saskia is happily settled in Yorkshire in the north of England, with her real-life hero, Mark, and a houseful of felines.
