When R. J. Jenkins first saw her, Kelly Morgan stood drenched in brilliant colored light from a stained-glass window -- an angel who took his breath away. But there were many sides to this special woman, he soon learned: the organized executive who'd built her wedding business from a bunch of orange blossoms arid white satin into a thriving concern; the adoring mother of giggling eighteen-month-old Sara who'd created a happy family just for two; and the exquisitely sensual woman who yearned for a love that would not end in pain.
