Plot Summary of A Love For All Time
"Conn O'Malley, called the handsomest man at the court, displeases Queen Elizabeth I with his latest sex scandal. In order to avoid a more severe punishment, he agrees to marry one of the Queen's ladies in waiting, Aidan St. Michael, a plain looking heiress who is older than the promiscuous rogue. Much to their surprise, they find love and passion.

But Aidan's cousin, who wants to steal her inheritance, has Conn thrown in jail for plotting to kill the Queen and has Aidan abducted and sold as a harem slave. Aidan's sexual education continues at the hands of her new master, but all the while she longs to return to Conn. Her hopes for freedom are threatened by the lust of the sultan who would steal her from her owner."

L. Watson, Resident Scholar
