"'I think you chose the wrong time to get to know me, Scott....' He tensed. He suspected this was heading somewhere he did not like. 'Because of the memories?' 'Because I don't want to get involved, ' she replied. 'Not now.' He sighed. 'Jennifer, you're going to go through this, no matter how long you wait....' 'The memories are too raw, Scott. I can't handle half a dozen flashbacks every day to a time when life was perfect. I'll shatter.' Scott winced at the image. 'Was it perfect, Jen?' he asked carefully. 'For a time, yes it was,' she whispered. 'Jen, I can't take away the pain you are going through. But I can give you allthe time you need....'"-from The Marriage Wish "We all love Dee Henderson's thrilling romantic suspense novels. But, did you know she also writes heartwarming romances?
