| Plot Summary of Hummingbird |
"A spinster takes in a wounded man accused of a train robbery because she needs the money. The two spar repeatedly until sparks fly all the way to the bed.
Engrossing and charming characters are Spencer's trademark, and this couple takes Hummingbird to must-read status. This book is a bit racier than Spencer's usual fare.
