Untarnished

"When Kathleen Corey and Jim Biller were married the town of Warrington caught its breath, for Kathleen Corey was the most admired and envied young woman in town--and Jim Biller was night clerk in the Wills Hotel, a spare time writer of romantic stories for cheap magazines. The town continued to ignore Jim Biller and idolize his wife long after the rest of the world had taken him to its heart. It remained for Kathleen Corey to discover for herself the true depth and power of her husband's devotion and her own lack of emotional experience"--Dust jacket flap.
