The Gamble, Paperback

A story of honesty and humor for anyone who has ever lived and loved from New York Times bestselling author LaVyrle Spencer.

Agatha was the picture of primness and propriety, but her green eyes could blaze with anger--or sparkle with humor.

Scott was the picture of lazy charm and happy indifference to what others thought was right and wrong.

They were enemies, then friends. Then the sweet innocence of a child opened their eyes and their hearts--and they were reborn in each other's arms by the soft, wondrous gift of love.

LaVyrle Spencer is a contemporary and historical romance novelist who has written twelve New York Times bestsellers. Whether set in the Old West or in present day suburban Minnesota, a Spencer novel means seeing love in a new light and meeting characters so real it's all you can do not to climb into the pages yourself. Several of Spencer's books have been made into movies (Publishers Weekly called one of her television deals "precedent-setting") and in 1988 she was inducted into the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame. She lives with her husband, Dan, in North Oaks, Minnesota.
