Picture Romance Library 20 - Her Secret Husband #1

A woman named Peggy is trapped in a secret marriage to a suspicious older man named Walter. When a man named Guy returns and declares his love for her, Peggy reveals her unhappy situation—Walter has threatened to turn her out of the house and accused her of being a crook. Guy learns that Peggy was framed on a false theft charge, and that Walter accused her of his death the night before he died, with the coroner ruling it accidental. Guy now warns Peggy that she could be framed for murder just as she was falsely accused of theft, urging her to escape Walter's clutches before it's too late.
