This book does not appear to be set in or published in the 1970s. I don't think it works for 20.8.

Haha - no it was set a few centuries before the 1970’s. I was going with forbidden love because (view spoiler)a passionate but brief affair,until she finds out what he is really like. This is just after Oliver Cromwell where fornication, was strictly forbidden and the rector had actually required penance for two of his parishioner for having sex outside of marriage. The other issue is class. She was a servant and shepherdess, he was in the upper classes as minister. In fact his late wife had been the daughter of an earl.
