Mistress of Shenstone

When Lady Myra Ingleby learns her husband has died in the war, she discovers something troubling: the grief she expects never arrives. Her doctor prescribes rest at a quiet seaside inn, where she checks in under an assumed name, hoping to escape society's expectations and her own confusing emotions. But at the Moorhead Inn, she meets a man who sees past her disguise to the woman beneath, and finds herself caught between duty to memory and the stirrings of an unexpected heart. What begins as a retreat becomes a romance that will test everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and herself. Florence L. Barclay writes with the tender precision of someone who understands that the heart has its own timeline, and that sometimes the deepest healing comes from the most unexpected places.
