The Spy Who Loved Me - Ian Fleming (1962) Jonathan Cape 

A very different James Bond story, this time from the woman's point of view.  She's independent, had her heart broken, twice, does not trust men as a result, but she's off on an adventure, riding her Vesta from Canada down to Florida.  Caught a little low on cash, she stops at a motel in the Adirondacks and is offered a job as a receptionist.  The couple running the summer business for an absentee owner, ask her to stay an extra day after they leave for the owner to arrive for the winter shutdown.  Only the two guys who show up have less than honorable intentions.  Bond shows up during a storm with a flat and stays the night, rescuing her from her fears about the men she thought were going to rape her.  Only their intentions were much worse.
