Books like The Youngest Sister by Jan Tempest
Verna's career was going very well. At twenty-three she was the youngest Sister the Jublilee Hospital had ever had. But at home, too, she was the youngest sister, and that was rather different. Overshadowed by bossy Ellice, and most of all, by the beautiful and charming Daphne. Daphne collected and discarded admirers with ease. Verna was determined that the man she fell in love with would be a man Daphne had never met. But when she seemed to have him, Daphne once again came on the scene to complicate matters.
