"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 all the time you need."
Scott is a successful businessman. But on his 38th birthday, he realizes that even though he's blessed with family and friends and a great career - something is missing. As he blows out the candles on his cake, he whispers a silent prayer to God for a wife. The very next day Scott meets enigmatic author Jennifer St. James while strolling on the beach. Jennifer holds a lot of pain behind her angelic eyes. Still mourning the loss of her husband and infant daughter, Jennifer's once-deep faith is now fragile. Certain that Jennifer is the answer to his prayer, can Scott convince her to give love a second chance?

This is my least favorite read of Dee's. It was way too sappy/romancey. I enjoy her writing because of the suspense and depth of characters. Too predictable.
Really enjoyed this book. Her characters really draw you in and it is hard to stop reading!
