A lighthouse. A new wife. A jealous daughter. Can love shine through the darkness?

Emma Row yearns for a fresh start and a chance to build a loving family. But as she steps into her role as the Rock Island Lightkeeper’s wife, she finds herself navigating the treacherous waters of isolation and the bitter rejection of her new stepdaughter, Ada.

Michael Diepolder, the widowed lightkeeper, had hoped securing a companion would brighten his life and be a needed mother figure to his eleven-year-old daughter. Yet, as Emma struggles to adapt to the challenges of her new life, Michael realizes that the path to happiness is far more turbulent than he ever anticipated.

As a storm brews on the horizon, Emma and Michael must confront the tempestuous waves of doubt, jealousy, and isolation that threaten to extinguish the light of their love. Can they weather the storm and find the strength to keep their family together, or will the darkness consume them all?

This sweet historical romance starts off in a nontraditional way–with an older couple (37 & 42) who are already in love and planning a future together. Their romance is only part of the story, though. Because they’re older, she’s enjoyed the freedom of singleness for almost four decades, and he has an 11-year-old daughter, so it’s really a family story as much as it’s a romance.

Set on on island lighthouse between the US and Canada, the history and setting add a delightful twist to the story.

If you’re looking for more mature characters in a book that’s not completely focused on the romance (in a unique historical setting), I recommend this book.
