About this eBook

From the incomparable New York Times bestselling author Bertrice Small comes a heroine as breathtaking as she is legendary.

Indomitable and bold in an era of royalty and rogues, Skye O’Malley is a woman who embraces her unbridled sensuality as valiantly as she fights for her children, her lovers, her empire. A woman of justice and honor, she will match wits with and challenge the most dangerous and powerful woman of her time: Queen Elizabeth I.

Though Skye is the object of every man’s fantasy, only a handful have had the thrill of tasting her enticing passions–men whose own daring adventures match her exotic forays into a world of lust, longing, and remarkable destiny. Skye’s is a stunning tale that reaches from the emerald hills of Ireland to the lush palaces of Algiers to the helm of a shipping empire, where she will wage her greatest battle for love and vengeance against the crown itself.

Praise for Skye O'Malley

“Small creates cover-to-cover passion, a keen sense of history, and suspense.”—Publishers Weekly

“Small continues to prove herself worthy of the title queen of sensuality!”—Literary Times

My absolute favorite series of books Bertrice Small is my favorite author I can't put her books down, her storytelling pulls you in as if you are experiencing the events in person... Truly amazing

Read this book and all the books following Skye O'Malley's families/decendants stories and OMG I cried, laughed and enjoyed all the stories that I often read the stories again and from time to time. Have all the books in hardcover and paperback. Happy reading, folks!

I read these books in paper back years ago. They are so good. Ms small really tells a great story. She also gets into a lot of actual history. I love the Skye O'Malley character. Hard to put down. Read them all several times each through my life.
