The Lighthouse Between Us

Marine conservationist Mara Vale returns to her storm-battered coastal hometown to restore a failing lighthouse—and finds the man who broke her heart keeping watch. 

Eleven years ago, Elias Mercer disappeared on the night Mara planned to run away with him. She built a new life far from Greyhaven, learning to protect threatened coastlines while keeping every personal promise at a safe distance. But when Bellwether Light is placed in her care, leaving is no longer simple. The lighthouse is crumbling, the town's most powerful businessman wants the headland, and Eli is waiting at the door. 

Then a violent storm traps them inside the tower. 

An unsent letter reveals that Eli never stopped loving Mara—and that her father's disappearance may not have been an accident. As old boat records, falsified coastal maps, and a hidden room beneath the lighthouse begin to expose Greyhaven's buried secret, someone will do anything to keep the past underwater. 

Mara wants answers. Eli wants a chance to tell the truth. Neither expects the investigation to revive the desire they thought they had buried for good. To save the lighthouse, they must confront a dangerous conspiracy. 

To save what remains between them, they must decide whether forgiveness is possible when the truth arrives eleven years late. 

The Lighthouse Between Us is an emotional second-chance romantic suspense novel about stormy secrets, coastal danger, trauma recovery, and the love that refuses to disappear.
