She came for ninety minutes. She stayed for the rest of her life.
Mira Castellano is three signatures away from making partner at a top Chicago architecture firm when a lawyer's letter changes everything: she's just inherited a decommissioned lighthouse on the coast of Maine from a grandmother she barely knew. Her plan is simple - sign the paperwork, list the property, be home before dinner.
The town has other plans.
Wren Ashby has spent three years fighting to get the Gull Point Light landmarked, and the last thing he needs is some outsider flipping it for parts. Their first meetings are all permits, lawyers, and town council standoffs - until a tin box turns up under a floorboard in the keeper's cottage, and everything Mira thought she knew about her family quietly comes apart.
Inside: a decades-old bundle of letters between her grandmother and the lighthouse's original keeper - a wartime love story that never got its ending, kept secret for fifty years and hidden for a reason Mira is only beginning to understand.
As she and Wren piece together what really happened on this headland eighty years ago, the fast sale she came for starts to feel a lot more complicated - and so does the fast exit she planned for herself. A storm-tossed near-kiss, a rival buyer with deep pockets, and a partnership offer with a hard deadline all force her toward the same impossible choice her grandmother once faced: the safe, certain life - or the one that's actually true.
THE LAST LIGHT ON GULL POINT is a dual-timeline small-town romance for readers who love a slow burn, a mystery in the mail, and a heroine who isn't rescued from her ambition - just finally shown what it's for.
Perfect for fans of The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter and Beach Read-style comfort fiction with real emotional stakes.
