Publisher Description

Agatha was the picture of primness and propriety, although 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 in each other's arms they were reborn by the soft, wondrous gift of love.

"Having read The Gamble and recommending it to my husband we chose to visit locations in Florida that are mentioned in the book. The Suwannee River, old hotel in north Florida, bath house on the river .. it's exactly as described in the book. I've read this one three times over the years and enjoy it every time. I can smell the "ice house", the artisian water swimming pool .. it's a wonderful book. LaVyrle Spencer is an awesome writer."

    " Read this book as part of a book swap with a friend. I'd never have bought it myself since I've never read a romance novel I didn't hate, but surprise, surprise, I really enjoyed this one. Gussie had gotten such a raw deal in life that she had a special underdog appeal about her. "

    " This is an old favourite - I read it for the first time about 10 years ago, and picking it up was like catching up with an old friend. LaVyrle Spencer's writing has the power to transport me into Scott and Gussie's world, and I was falling in love along with them. "
