The Lonely Road — Margaret Malcolm

'Millionaire's daughter weds father's employee.' That, Lucy realized numbly, had been the reason for Dick Corbett's jilting her on the very morning of their wedding.

But Lucy was courageous and set out to build herself a new life without him. She found a pleasant job as a secretary to an authoress, and in her employer's nephew, Owen Vaughan, found a champion who helped her more than anything to pull herself together again.

So it was doubly hard that after all her efforts to recover, almost the first people Lucy should meet in her new life were Dick and his new wife.

Hero: Owen Vaughan
Heroine: Lucy Darvill
