Across the Counter — Mary Burchell

When a large London store took over the old family business of Kendales in the Midlands, Katherine was sent up there to reorganize one of Kendales' departments. She looked forward to the assignment for more reasons than one. But when, within a week of her arrival, she found herself engaged to one man -- no less than Paul Kendale himself -- while still in love with another, she began to wonder if things were not getting just a little too much for her!

Hero: Paul Kendale
Heroine: Katherine Renner
