Proud Glory — Ann Barron

A TOWERING LOVE IN A MAGNIFICENT LAND

Mollie O'Meara's dream was to flee from Ireland's wretched poverty -- and from the rude advances of a lecherous employer. Her chance came in the form of a tall, ruggedly handsome stranger from America, and she boldly offered him a year of indentured service for passage to a new world as vast as her dreams -- Texas!

Mollie could know nothing of a land as dangerous as it was magnificent -- or of the man she was contracted to serve -- a man whose caresses would awaken her most hidden passions and capture her in a bond of burning desire from which there was no escape. Yet as war sweeps across the Texas plains, it is the man who "owns" her who defies death to rescue her...to carry her into the blazing paradise of love's most intimate surrender.
