Devoted to Mr. Dancy

Susan Meadows' dearest friend has eloped with a dashing war hero, stranding her in the tiny village of Littleover where she's spent her entire existence, living a life decidedly lacking in dash. When a surly, disagreeable, yet ultimately fascinating stranger suddenly arrives in her too-small world, Susan finds he might just be the key to her own adventure.

War has left Jeremiah Dancy with scars both visible and hidden, and shadows follow him even to pastoral Littleover. The young and cheerful Miss Meadows is an unexpected source of companionship, and she quickly becomes an indispensable light amid the darkness. Susan provides a measure of hope, but can it be enough to restore him to the man he once was?

Susan must find the strength to share his burdens, or Jeremiah – and her hopes for the future – might just be lost forever.
