The Lighthouse Keeps Him

by Violet Ashgrove

Restoring the decommissioned Cape Auldwick lighthouse was supposed to be a quiet contract for architect Imogen — six months, one ruin, no complications. But the light still turns at night, though the mechanism is dead, and the keeper who lights it drowned in 1911. He has been waiting a long time for someone to climb the stairs. Romance is patient. The sea is not.
