Some people leave. Some become the reason you stay. Seventeen years ago, Nell Cathart walked out of Ambrose Cove at twenty years old with a canvas kit in her hand and a dead man's name in her mouth. Now she's back — under contract to take apart the very lighthouse lens she once failed. Six weeks to disassemble three tons of glass, crate it, and ship it to a museum lobby in Halifax. Six weeks, and then she never has to see this place again. Nobody told her Emory Boutilier would be standing in the doorway. He's the last keeper of a light that doesn't need keeping. Eight thousand dollars a year, eleven years, one line written in the station log every single morning, and a niece he's raising on a rock in the North Atlantic because nobody else would. He hasn't asked Nell a single question in seventeen years. He isn't going to start now. So they talk the only way they can: in pencil, in the margins of a maintenance log, one entry at a time. Then a nor'easter floods the causeway, and there's one bed, and eleven hundred feet of black water between Nell and the woman she's spent her whole life pretending to be. She has the truth about the night his father died. She's been carrying it since she was twenty. And she has nineteen days to decide whether she loves him enough to hand it to him — and lose him for good. A slow-burn, second-chance coastal romance about the people who leave, the people who stay, and what it costs to finally say the thing out loud. Sensual, emotional, and closed-door. Guaranteed HEA.
