Libby’s Lighthouse
Two weeks ago, Libby’s Lighthouse, came out, and I hope you’re enjoying the story. It’s the first in my Love at a Lighthouse three-book series. Here’s an excerpt from Libby’s Lighthouse:
“That sad day a year ago, Libby’s life had been dashed to pieces by an earth-shattering, deathbed confession. Her heart broken into a million pieces. Her family turned into an enigma. Her lifetime desire to stay at the lighthouse and be the first female Tibbetts Lighthouse keeper—destroyed.
All with a heart-wrenching, terrible lie.
Her father stirred and stretched as she stepped into the room. She peeked at the handsome stranger who slept peacefully for the moment. Papa scanned the injured man, too, then rose and quietly left his side, beckoning her to follow with a tilt of his head and wiggle of his still-bushy brows.
She trailed him into the hallway and closed the door. “How is he doing? Did you find out any more about him?”
Papa yawned, then swiped his face with a hand. “Nothing. He’s been sleeping soundly and has barely stirred. I’ve decided that, since the fellow I hired as my temporary assistant keeper won’t arrive for several weeks, this Owen fellow can recover here as long as he needs.”
Libby glanced toward the closed door, holding back a smile. Wouldn’t it be lovely to get to know him by and by?
“I’ll help as much as I can. With Alberta and the baby away, the housework is so much lighter.”
Papa touched her cheek. “You’re a good daughter.”
Libby bristled at the moniker as she had for the past twelve months. “Get some sleep, Papa.”
Even that word tasted as sour as a crab apple in her mouth. Returning to the bedside of the still-sleeping stranger, the weight of the unknown threatened to overwhelm her. Why did everything have to change, especially about how she felt about Papa?
Here’s a little more about Libby’s Lighthouse:
When a lighthouse keeper’s daughter finds a mysterious sailor with amnesia, the secrets she uncovers may change her life forever.
Elizabeth Montonna, daughter of the Tibbett’s Point Lighthouse keeper, thought she’d love the lighthouse life forever—until her mother, on her deathbed, reveals a long-buried secret. Now Elizabeth’s world has been turned upside down, making her question if she’ll ever truly belong and be loved. But when a dashing young sailor appears on her shore, wounded and disoriented, she finds purpose in helping him recover. Although the man knows nothing about his past or identity, his kindness and character steal a little more of her heart each day. If only she knew his full name.
When Owen awakes on the shore of Lake Ontario with no knowledge of who he is, or where he was headed when his ship wrecked, he has no choice but to accept the hospitality of the lighthouse keeper and his lovely daughter. But as Owen works to repay their kindness, and his relationship with Libby turns into something more, he knows their budding romance can go no further until he uncovers his past.
With each passing day, Owen inches closer to discovering the secrets of his identity, but will the revelations bring him closer to Libby or tear them apart forever?
