Cliff And Claim

"I built a tower to keep the world out. She climbed it anyway."

Griffith Morrow is a man made of secrets and stone. Haunted by a devastating engineering failure that cost lives, he hides in a decommissioned, crumbling lighthouse on the unforgiving coast of Maine. He wants nothing but isolation, routine, and the punishing rhythm of his own guilt.

Enter Tamsin. A resilient wildlife biologist studying cliff-nesting falcons, she is everything Griff is not: alive, moving, and relentlessly observant. When a massive rockslide destroys the only trail connecting the headland to the mainland, Tamsin is left stranded with a man who communicates through locked doors and deprivation.

Forced to share the claustrophobic stone tower, their uneasy truce shatters when a brutal hurricane batters the coast. The storm threatens to destroy the lighthouse's very foundation, mirroring the cracks in Griff's carefully constructed walls. As they fight side-by-side to reinforce the dying structure, the extreme forced proximity ignites a dark, obsessive attraction neither can escape. He built his life to keep the world out, but she is already inside.
