About Author

LaVyrle was born on July 17, 1943 in Browerville, Minnesota, USA, where she grew up. Married her high school sweetheart Dan Spencer, shortly after her graduation, a decision she calls the wisest choice of her life. They had two daughters, Amy and Beth (d. 1990). LaVyrle worked as a teacher's aide at Osseo Junior High School, when in her thirties, she read Kathleen Woodiwiss's novel "The Flame and Flower", which gave her the idea to become a novelist. 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. Her story became her first manuscript, "The Fulfillment", and she sent it to Kathleen Woodiwiss. The bestselling author read the novel and promptly mailed it to her own editor at Avon. The editor purchased the novel, which was published in 1979. She was inducted into the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame in 1988. She wrote 23 sweet historical and contemporany novels. Published around the world, her works had included 12 New York Times Bestsellers, and have been won four RITA Awards, three Golden Medallion Awards and a Minnesota Book Award. LaVyrle said: "the trademark of my books is mending relationships, showing people how to mend relationships." LaVyrle is a founding member of the Midwest Fiction Writers (MFW), chapter 24 of the Romance Writers of America. Four of LaVyrle's novels were produced as television movies: The Fulfillment in 1989 (She and her husband appear as extras in the film), Morning Glory in 1993, Home Song in 1996 and Family Blessings in 1999. LaVyrle and her husband are grandparents. Her husband is a retired estimator for a general contractor, and she also decided to retire from writing in 1997 after an 18-year career. They live in a Victorian house in her native Minnesota, where she enjoyes gardening, cooking, playing bass guitar and electric piano, and photography.

A Scandalous Secret Her heart moved by the plight of a desperate young man convicted of thievery and sentenced to the penal colony in Australia, Phoebe Brackenton has embarked on a dangerous career--aiding such unfortunates with her family's wealth. Purchasing their release from prison, she then supplies them with the means to begin again. Yet after five years of her clandestine work, Phoebe suspects a trap, and a carriage idling near the docks is her only hope of escape. Its occupant, Lord Galen Townsend, may be shocked by her whispered explanation--but Phoebe is transfixed by his charming smile. An Irresistible Romance Looking for his wayward brother in London's hells, Galen is indeed amazed to find a young lady of good breeding instead--and one who has apparently forsaken polite society to aid the impoverished. Astounded by her story, and her courage, Galen offers Phoebe the sanctuary of Thistlewood Cottage--and his own help in her mission. After all, the life of a well-to-do bachelor pales in comparison to the thrill of running from the authorities with a woman so lovely. But although he knows the danger they face together is quite real, Galen begins to suspect that the greatest risk is losing his heart.
