A Soul to Keep

The black and frigid depths are not the only dangers Addie must contend with beneath the cliffs of Rockwell Island.

Adeline Baker is unwilling to marry the cruel, vain man her parents have chosen for her and unable to be with the woman she loves. When an embellished application leads to an offer of employment as an assistant lighthouse keeper on Rockwell Island, Maine, Addie runs as fast as she can from her repressive 1860s society life. Secluded on the island with her new sullenly handsome and mysterious employer, Duncan Price, she thinks she has finally found a place she can be herself—but when she cannot stop seeing glimpses of a woman shrouded in black among the cliffs, her idyllic days quickly turn to nightmares. Addie knows Duncan is holding something back, and she must discover the secrets harbored by the island and the man she thought she trusted before it is too late.
