I believe this listing refers to the Janet Louise Roberts "Rivertown" first printed by pocket books in 1979.

The heroine, Sarah, spent the book torn between her father (corporate power) and her husband, Lance (conservationist) with the loser seeming to be Lance most of the time. While the subject matter may be eternal, the characters are rather outdated and it's hard to relate. From the back cover:

Rivertown was split by two opposing forces and the town was ready to explode. Sarah's wealthy father, Neville, led the stripminers, while Lance, the man she loved, headed the conservationist. The feud was bitter and Lance drove the final wedge by accusing Neville of ruthless deceit, sabotage - and attempted murder! But Sarah's terror began when two small graves were dug up and destroyed, and the hatred of the town turned on her. Beneath such violent anger, how could she safely stay the wife of the accuser - and the daughter of the accused!
