When Clara Hayes, a passionate marine biologist, accepts a research fellowship in the quiet fishing village of Windhaven, she imagines a summer of solitude. Her days will be spent studying endangered tidepool species and writing her long-overdue dissertation. The village, with its rugged cliffs and misty mornings, feels like the perfect escape from the heartbreak she left behind in the city.
But everything changes when Clara meets Evan Mercer, the lighthouse keeper whose family has tended the beacon for generations. Evan is quiet, brooding, and carries an air of tragedy that the villagers refuse to talk about. Rumors swirl—of a storm years ago, a shipwreck, and a love that was lost to the sea.
At first, Evan resents Clara’s presence near his lighthouse, believing her research will disrupt the fragile ecosystem he has sworn to protect. But as Clara’s compassion and persistence slowly break through his walls, Evan begins to trust her. Together, they restore the neglected lighthouse, unearth long-buried village secrets, and even discover an old journal belonging to Evan’s great-grandmother, revealing a forbidden romance from decades past.
When a powerful storm threatens Windhaven, Clara and Evan must work together to keep the lighthouse lit—risking their lives to guide a fishing vessel home. In the storm’s aftermath, Clara realizes that Windhaven has not just healed her broken heart—it has given her a place to belong.
In the shadow of the lighthouse, two hearts find each other, proving that love—like the beam across the dark sea—can guide the lost safely home. Read more free download click here
