French émigré, Olivier Davignon, is determined to prove himself worthy of Maisie Tindall at any cost. With Maisie's brother by his side, he becomes a highwayman in an effort to acquire enough wealth to offer for her hand. When things go awry and Olivier ends up wounded, he confesses to Maisie he has done it all for her.

Unbeknownst to Olivier, Maisie has loved him since their first meeting, but his confession leaves her doubting they can ever have a future, despite how desperately she wants to be with him. Soon, however, the choice

may not be hers as Maisie's father must decide if he is willing to trust his daughter's

heart to a head strong, adventurous Frenchman.

From Teresa, ARe's Wildfire

Another short, and very sweet story that I found myself enjoying very much. The protagonists have known each other for a long time and loved each other for just as long. When Olivier is wounded and brought to her home, Maisie is sick with worry and tends to him as best she can. Their scenes together were delightful and engaging. Maisie's reaction to Olivier's unclothed form was adorable, and her concern was palpable. Olivier is the epitome of charming and he never lost his sense of humor. I loved his nickname for Maisie and the obvious affection he felt towards her. He committed acts that were illegal and I wondered (although I had a sneaking suspicion) how the story would be resolved. I wasn't disappointed. All For Love was a short but very gratifying read. Olivier Davignon risks life, limb and freedom in order to acquire enough money to be able to offer marriage to the woman he loves. During one of his escapades, he is wounded and requires medical attention. There is little time and he must seek the help of his lady love. Maisie Tindall has been in love with Olivier from the moment they met, but will she be able to accept the things he's done to be able to be with her?

Excerpt:
"Olivier needs you."

Maisie bolted out of bed, unmindful of facing her brother in naught but her nightgown and woolen stockings, not that Justin seemed inclined to notice as he continued to paw at his hair. She grabbed his arm.

"Tell me what has happened."

"He needs you. I did all I could, but the blood..." He shook his head and took a deep shuddering breath. "Maisie, if he does not get stitched up he will bleed to death."

Maisie's heart stopped. Olivier was not allowed to bleed to death. It did not matter how he had been injured or even who had injured him. Such details could be worked out later, but he could not bleed to death, not before she told him she loved him.
