Dusk’s Darkest Shores (Regency Wallflowers #1)

How can a meek wallflower help a returning war hero whose dreams are plunged into darkness?
Mary
Bloomfield has no illusions. Her chances for matrimony have long since
passed her by. Still, her circumstances are pleasant enough, especially
now that she has found purpose in assisting her father with his medical
practice in England's beautiful Lake District. Even without love, it's a
peaceful life.
That is until Adam Edgerton returns to the sleepy
district. This decorated war hero did not arrive home to acclaim and
rest, but to a new battle against the repercussions of an insidious
disease. Mary's caring nature cannot stand to see someone suffer--but
how can she help this man see any brightness in his future when he's
plunged into melancholic darkness, his dreams laid waste by his
condition?
Adam wants no charity, but he's also no coward. If
this gentle woman can work hard, how can he do less? Together they
struggle to find a way forward for him. Frustration and antipathy slowly
develop into friendship and esteem. Then a summer storm atop a mountain
peak leads to scandal--and both Mary and Adam must search the depths of
their closed hearts for answers if they hope to find any future path
with happiness at its end.
