From New York Times  bestselling author LaVyrle Spencer comes a novel that perfectly captures the tender and delicate beginnings of love in bloom.   Confident and practical, Winn never imagined anything—or anyone—could overturn her perfect world and perfect wedding plans. But in a single passing moment, her heart told her otherwise.   Joseph knew Winn’s love was promised to another man, that he must hide his heartfelt passions. But he also knew that the heart doesn’t lie: This was that love of a lifetime.   They met at a spring wedding, only months before Winn’s own. Were they carried away by the intoxicating spirit of the moment? Or was this the start of a love they would cherish forever? Winnifred Gardner, engaged to be married in only three short months, is provided a dress rehearsal of sorts when she is asked to be the maid of honor at her best friend's wedding. Winnifred loves her fiancé, Paul, so why is she so attracted to Joseph Duggan, the best man? When Paul leaves the wedding reception early, Winn is left to dance with Joseph, and the attraction between the two is undeniable. As Paul spends more and more time at work rather than with Winn, he doesn't even notice when she begins to question their relationship. Winn is left to deal with the fact that she wants to get married--but to Joseph, not Paul. Harlequin Temptation, the line that helped launch the careers of such authors as Jayne Ann Krentz, Barbara Delinsky, and Judith McNaught, is known for witty, sensuous stories, and Spring Fancy is no exception. 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.
