The House on Harbor Light

She came home to sell the house. Someone left a photo of her missing sister inside.

Fifteen years ago, sixteen-year-old Wren Harlow vanished on festival night in Harbor Light, Maine — and the town decided she ran away. Her sister June believed it too, until she came back to sell their grandmother's house and found a photograph hidden in the kitchen: Wren at the lighthouse point, the day before she disappeared.

June is a scientist. She does not believe in ghosts, and she does not believe in easy stories. With Detective Jonah Hale — the boy who once accused her family in front of the whole town — she starts pulling at the threads: a bracelet with no chain of custody, a backpack on a bus route no bus ever ran, a lighthouse log with a truck at the point at 10:35 p.m., and a ledger page that names what the town was paid to forget.

Told across two timelines — June's present-day investigation and Wren's last summer, in her own voice — The House on Harbor Light is a psychological romantic suspense about a family, a town, and the price of fifteen years of silence. The mystery is fully resolved, the killer faces justice, and the ending is hopeful.
