One of my core books is entitled "The Rosary" by Florence Barclay. Garth declares his love to Jane who considers herself very plain and she scorns him. As Jane realizes that Garth was genuine in expressing his feelings, she comes to realize that she loves him, also, but he has been hurt in an accident and she can't openly confess her feelings for him, believing that he would consider it only pity. The book is about resolving the relationship.
It is beautifully written and is a deeply moving story. "The Rosary" was the #1 best selling book of 1911. You can find it completely online at the following link.

The author, Mrs. Florence Barclay is an English novelist. While I generally don't recommend Wikipedia as a completely reliable site, it seems that the following link has the best information on this talented author.
