"Bertrice Small doesn't just push the limits, she reinvents them." (Literary Times)
"Bertrice Small creates cover-to-cover passion, a keen sense of history and suspense." (Publishers Weekly)
In this sweeping historical epic featuring Skye O'Malley's brother, Conn, Bertrice Small-the "reigning queen of romance"*-chronicles the lives of two lovers separated by the royal deceptions of 16th century Europe...
The newest novel in the popular annals of Skye O'Malley focuses on Skye's brother Conn, the handsomest man in Elizabeth I's court, a character who was introduced in previous books. Beginning with Conn's courtship of Aiden St. Michael, the author describes their marriage, which is blissful until Conn is unjustly accused of plotting to kill the queen. When Aiden attempts to help Conn, she is kidnapped and sold into slavery in Istanbuland a predictable rescue ensues. This story lacks the genuine emotion and originality of This Heart of Mine. Fans' expectations will be disappointed. (July)
