Grace Livingston Hill 
Beauty for Ashes 

Gloria knew the benefits of wealth. Her life had been filled with every conceivable luxury, which would only continue when she was married to a well known and wealthy man. But Gloria’s world is shattered when her fiancée is found murdered — in very questionable circumstances. Broken-hearted, Gloria flees to the quiet country town where her father grew up. 

There she meets sincere, humble people who seem satisfied without money — and discovers a love she never dreamed existed. But can even the love of handsome Murray Mac Rae release Gloria from the shame of her past?
