About the Author

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. 

Read an Excerpt

"It's quite beautiful, isn't it?"

Tomas Flint's deep, husky voice drew Alexa's attention away from the window, where she'd been looking out at the huge old oak tree that stood outside his prestigious London office. Tomas sat at his desk, working his way through the stack of contracts she had brought for him to sign, but he glanced up as he spoke, awaiting her response.

She smiled over at him, self-consciously adjusting the lapel on her smart business suit as she responded. "It is. Is it an oak?"

"Indeed it is. I moved the company here because of the tree, if you can believe that?" He fixed her with an inquisitive glance, the question lingering in his riveting grey eyes.

"Yes, I can." It was just the sort of eccentric choice she thought he might make. An exceptionally canny businessman, Tomas also had a mysterious side to him that intrigued her. "Here in the city it's such a joy to see. Especially now, in the summer," she added.

She turned back to the view, because his direct stare made her self-conscious. She always felt self-aware when she came to Tomas' office, but on the rare occasions he talked about something other than their work connection--like now--her self-awareness heightened dramatically. Two years she'd been his solicitor of choice, vetting contracts for him, and for two years she'd been attracted to the man. Whilst he signed the paperwork for his company acquisitions, contracts she had checked over in infinite detail on his behalf, she wandered over to the window in order to distract herself from the arousal she felt in his presence.

"Yes, it's an oak. Said to be almost two hundred years old. And I would like to see you tied to it, naked andblindfolded."

At first she thought she'd imagined it. Tensing, she kept her attention on the tree for a split-second longer, before glancing back at him. He was looking down at the desk again.

I must have imagined it. He couldn't possibly have said what she thought he said. No, he is busy dealing with the papers. Even so, curiosity tugged at her. "I'm sorry, did you say something? I didn't quite catch--"

He put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, and looked at her. "I said I'd like to see you naked and blindfolded, and tied to the tree."

Alexa's pulse raced unevenly as she tried to grasp whether she was in fact dreaming this, or if he'd actually said what she thought he'd said. Twice. Right out of the blue. She'd worked for him all this time, and she thought she'd sensed him being interested in her, but he'd never said anything so blatant--or downright kinky--before. The secrets held at the back of his eyes had always fascinated her. The way his mouth lifted at one corner when he smiled made her ache to know more about him. Now, some barrier had been breached, because he'd decided it was time.

On her previous visit to his office he'd casually asked her to attend a function straight after their appointment, a corporate cocktail party. "Come as a colleague," he'd said, "no strings."

That's exactly what happened. Alexa felt a little disappointed that it hadn't evolved into something else, but being around him made her sure of one thing--he was a powerful, enigmatic man, and she wanted him, badly. Tomas Flint wasn't the sort of man you could easily flirt with, though. Everything had to be on his terms, and he always had command of the situation. Whilst that appealed to her immensely, there were times when it drove her crazy. That night he'd observed her interacting with others, and no more, during the cocktail party. His gaze was hot and suggestive. Anticipation built to fever pitch inside her. She had hoped he'd make a move, but he didn't. He instructed a driver to take her home. Alone. Today she'd been even more self-aware than usual in his office. Even so, the last thing in the world she expected was for him to say what he had just said.
