Frances "Fancy" Devers arrives at court with her two English cousins, Diana and Cynara, hoping to escape the gossip surrounding her first brief marriage, but when charming King Charles II beckons, Fancy courts scandal again by willingly becoming his new mistress. After playing the "King's Fancy" for several months, the now pregnant Fancy wishes to gracefully retire, but Charles insists that she marry handsome Christopher "Kit" Trahern. Meanwhile, Diana has to choose between equally attractive twin brothers, and proud, willful Cynara decides that dark and dangerous Harry "Wickedness" Summers is her man. All three heroines, the great granddaughters of the infamous Skye O'Malley, find love, and a generous measure of sex, in the concluding volume in best-selling Small's popular Skye's Legacy series. Featuring the author's well-known lush writing, boldly passionate heroines, and vividly detailed settings, this sensual historical will please not only Small's devoted readers but also those who devour sexy romances by Susan Johnson and Thea Devine.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2003, American Library Association.)
