Hope and Glory

Can a man who wins a war also conquer a woman’s heart?

Now, as the battle between nations is coming to an end, Hope must fight a new struggle--with tender feelings for her arrogant guardian. For though Roland was her enemy, she must stand with him in a new fight--against forces that may tear them apart...
