New readers will fall in love with New York Times bestselling author LaVyrle Spencer’s unforgettable novels—and for those who have already read her timeless romances, rediscover the passion and magic . . .

Two brothers work a rich and bountiful land—and one extraordinary woman shares their lives. To Jonathan Gray, Mary is a devoted and giving mate. To Aaron, she is a beloved friend. But seven childless years of marriage have forced Jonathan to ask the unthinkable of his brother and his wife—binding the two people he cares for most with an act of desire born of compassion . . . awakening Mary to the pain of infidelity, and to all the bittersweet joy and heartache that passionate love can bring.

From Goodreads…”Wow! This book left me feeling emotionally exhausted but satisfied. The Fulfillment is a poignant read that transports the reader back to the hardships and struggles the American farmstead faced during the early twentieth century. It also had me experiencing an array of conflicting emotions due to the books storyline. I’m not one for reading infidelity plotlines but this one was unique in it’s delivery.

Jonathan, who is sterile due to a childhood illness and is the books secondary hero, asks his wife, Mary, the heroine, and his younger brother, Aaron, who is a bachelor and the story’s main hero, to sleep together in hopes of producing a child he can raise as his own. ….I felt the author gave a very realistic and heartbreaking portrayal of the inherent consequences and turmoil this type of unorthodox decision creates for all involved. In addition, I found myself genuinely liking, and rooting for, these imperfect characters–more so for Mary and Aaron than for Jonathan–and hoping somehow they all could achieve their happily-ever-after. I also appreciated that the few love scenes between Mary and Aaron were sensual and passionate, while remaining tastefully done.”
