HUMMINGBIRD – Novel, by LaVyrle Spencer

LAVYRLE SPENCER > She is an American best-selling author of contemporary and historical romance novels. She has successfully published a number of books, with several of them made into movies. Twelve of her books have been New York Times bestsellers. She was born on July 17, 1943 in Browerville (Minnesota), where she was raised. Spencer didn’t begin her first novel until she was in her thirties, when she decided to try transferring to paper a recurring dream she was having about a story based on her grandmother’s lifestyle on a Minnesota farm. Spencer is known for creating realistic characters and stories that focus on families rather than only the relationship between a man and woman.

HUMMINGBIRD > The Bandit and the Gentleman. Both were wounded in the same train robbery in frontier Colorado and left on Abigail McKenzie’s doorstep to nurse back to life. Gentle, loving David, promising her a happiness she’d lost hope of finding, was all a lady could wish for. Jesse stood for everything she hated: he was rude, violent, roughly handsome and disturbingly sensual. But it was Jesse’s mocking mouth that troubled her dreams, Jesse who made her feel a hundred things a lady should never know, Jesse who challenged her every waking hour. She fought him with all the stiff propriety her stubborn will commanded, but in her burned the aching embers of love too long denied, love that would force her to a choice no woman should ever have to make
