LOVE...JENNY When Jenny Teale wrote to Captain John Braithwaite, it was as her good deed to the brave fighting men overseas. John's letters—intimate, sexy, loving—made her realize she'd found her soul mate. But Jenny didn't consider herself the kind of woman a man of action like John could ever love, so she refused to tell him her name. Still their letters grew even more revealing and passionate—but it was only a fantasy, Jenny assured herself. Then John came home, determined to find the woman behind the words.
