The Secret Longing — Arlene Hale

Pretty Katharine Juno should have been the happiest of young women. As resident nurse at a luxury hotel in a western mountain resort, she combined her chosen career with the active outdoor life she adored. As a bonus, the handsome hotel manager, Steve Corey, was obviously very much in love with her.

But Katharine's heart was a battlefield of warring emotions. For she was infatuated with the one man she could never have -- the rugged, good-looking husband of her only sister. Torn between passion and decency, caught up in a shattering medical emergency, Katharine Juno had to face the most agonizing choice a woman could make before she could discover the way to happiness.
