Available December 1, 2026
Young widow Elizabeth Eaton resides with her late husband’s cold, critical family. When she learns her estranged father, a writer and naturalist, has died in a cottage on the North Devonshire coast, Elizabeth reluctantly agrees to travel there to claim his belongings.
When she reaches the cottage on estate grounds, she is told the nearby manor house is empty, yet she sees candlelight flickering within, giving Elizabeth reason to doubt her eyes—and her safety. Finding her father’s final manuscript nearly complete, Elizabeth decides to stay long enough to finish it. As she does, she meets two very different men: a charming seafarer who fills her head with frightening local legends, and an aloof man of business with his own agenda. Soon, Elizabeth must decide which man to trust when her life—and her heart—are endangered.
