Patron of Hope

There's a fine line between manipulation and theft. But when done in the name of good, does it really matter if the line gets crossed? What if it involves the family of the girl you love?

Marco DeFranco, the son of Italian immigrants has been trying to save the world one homeless person at a time. Marco dedicates his every waking moment to the foundation he created, except... when he works his day job as a social worker. A job he despises. But when a chance encounter with Victoria Van Hough, the only daughter of a major socialite, shows promise of developing into a romantic relationship, Marco has to choose between his foundation or the kind of love he has never experienced before.

Caught between his love for helping others and his budding feelings for Victoria, Marco faces a series of life-changing decisions. But love is a steep learning curve for Marco, who is constantly challenged by the head-strong Victoria and her need for a partner in life. When Victoria's mother finds out that she has an interest in a man of much lower status, she will stop at nothing to end their relationship before it starts. Will Marco find love in the arms of the socialite's daughter or will the demands of his foundation along with the fear of her well-connected mother conspire to keep them apart?
