The Hungry Heart — Arlene Hale

One shattering night turned Lisa Larsen's life from a song of love into heartbreaking blues. Without warning, handsome Ross Hunter told Lisa that theirs had only been a "fun romance" and now it was over.

Long ago, Lisa had seen her father abandon her mother and herself, and now that bitter childhood memory returned as Lisa vowed never again to trust a man. But she could not stop from pouring her feelings into the music she created as pianist in an elegant supper club--and more than one man responded. Fellow musician Pete Bartley pleaded to be more than her best friend. Wealthy Dan Evans asked Lisa to share everything in his life except the secret he refused to reveal. Then suddenly Ross himself returned, demanding another chance to win the love of the woman who had sworn to forget him.
