About this ebook

Welcome to Lindsey Point, Connecticut: suspicious of outsiders, loyal to tradition, and absolutely devoted to its local legends.

Enter Sophie Smithwaite, travel show host, in town to film an episode about Lindsey Point’s haunted lighthouse. But digging into the story of a tragic murder-suicide and love gone wrong reveals startling connections to Sophie’s own past. When a gorgeous local handyman fills in behind the camera, Sophie’s life gets complicated by more than just her family history.

Part-time paramedic, handyman, seasonal Santa... Lucas Oakes does it all--except get attached. He’s still reeling from the death of his best friend ten years ago and the more recent infidelity of his ex-fiancee. Yet despite Sophie’s big-city nosiness and her insistence on chasing long-dead ghosts, he’s drawn to her.

But mixing with an outsider means questioning people and traditions Lucas has always defended. When a series of attacks seem to be connected to Sophie’s investigation, both Sophie and Lucas must decide if they are willing to risk everything to uncover the town’s secrets...and their own.

    I was given this book in exchange of an honest review.I enjoyed this book and its small town setting. It took me a little bit to get into it but once I was immersed I couldn't put it down. There are numerous twists in this mystery. Looking forward to more from this author!

    Loved this book! Very touching romance mystery. Well developed story and characters. I fell in love with Lucas from the start and my feelings toward him only intensified as I learned more of his back story. Lighthouses have always held a special place in my heart, so the setting of this novel was a perfect fit for me. Intrigued (and pleased!) by the fact that I actually didn't have all of this one figured out until I completed the book. Perfect depiction of the closeness of a small town and how everyone's lives there have connections. Thrilled to read a great and truly interesting story without sex as a main focus. One of my favorite reads!
