About Guardians of the Heart
For years, I believed my story had already been written. Love, loss, and grief—I thought that was all there was for me. My wife, Jessica, was my world, and when cancer took her, it felt like she took the best parts of me with her. I buried myself in work, in routine, in the quiet of a house that still held her touch but no longer her laughter. I told myself I was fine.
Then Ethan Williams came crashing into my life.
First as the cop who pulled me over. Then as the handyman restoring the unfinished pieces of my home—the projects Jessica had dreamed up but never got to see completed. And now? Now I don’t know what he is to me.
Ethan is everything I didn’t know I needed. He’s sharp-witted, fearless, and carries the weight of the world on his shoulders without ever stopping to think about himself. He works himself to exhaustion, balancing his job as a K-9 officer with taking care of his parents, never asking for help, never complaining. And somehow, despite all of it, he manages to bring light into every space he enters—including mine.
At first, I thought it was friendship. A connection I hadn’t felt in years. But the more time we spend together—the more I watch him laugh, the more I catch myself looking too long, feeling too much—I realize I’m in uncharted territory. I’ve never looked at a man like this before. I never wanted something I couldn’t explain.
And Ethan? He’s patient. He’s young. He’s understanding. But he’s also real. And I know, deep down, if I step forward, there’s no turning back.
I spent years believing love was behind me. That my heart belonged to the past. But now, for the first time, I wonder if maybe… just maybe, it’s been waiting for someone to help me find it again.
Guardians of the Heart is a story of love after loss, of rebuilding not just a home but a life, and of learning that sometimes, the heart knows where it belongs long before the mind is ready to accept it.

About Dave Henderson
Dave Henderson: Author, Life Coach, and Advocate for Love
Hi, I’m Dave, and I’ve always believed that love is at the core of everything we do. Growing up in Baltimore, Maryland, I had a loving upbringing, but like many, I often felt like an outsider because of my sexuality. That feeling of being different shaped me into who I am today. It inspired my passion for helping others embrace self-love, acceptance, and resilience—both in life and in my writing.
My journey has been an interesting one. Straight out of high school, I joined the US Army, which gave me a disciplined approach to life. But it wasn’t until a few years ago that I discovered my true calling: writing. Since then, I’ve poured my heart into creating poetry, self-help, and romance novels that reflect what I care about most—love in all its forms.
I’ve been blessed with my own 35-year-long love story with my husband, which inspires much of my work. For me, every love story deserves a little magic, and my goal is to sweep readers off their feet with every page.
As a life coach for over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of helping people discover their own greatness, and that’s what I aim to do through my stories as well. Whether it’s through characters learning to love themselves or navigating life’s challenges, my writing is about showing that we’re all worthy of a beautiful, fulfilling love story.
These days, I live in Oregon with my amazing husband and two wonderful German Shepherds. Along with my sister, we take care of our mother as she battles cancer. Life may be full, but so is my heart, and I’m grateful to share my journey—both personal and professional—with all of you. Thank you for being here.
