In a coastal town where the sea takes more than it gives, love is a promise measured in light.
Brindlehaven Cove, early 1950s.
A place of rugged cliffs, restless waters, and a lighthouse that never sleeps.
Vivienne Langford has spent her life doing what is expected of her. Born into privilege, she works quietly as a nurse and hospital switchboard operator, tending the wounded and relaying distress calls from ships battling the unforgiving sea. Duty has always come before desire-until the day she meets Asher Vance.
Asher is a Navy officer shaped by discipline, sacrifice, and a past that taught him never to want what he hasn't earned. Calm under pressure and steady in the face of danger, he carries the weight of the sea on his shoulders-and a growing fear that a woman like Vivi could never truly choose him.
Their connection begins not with romance, but with shared purpose. And on a quiet evening beneath the lighthouse glow, Asher makes a promise that will bind them both to hope.
But when a brutal storm sends Asher into dangerous waters and leaves him presumed lost, Vivi is forced to confront the life others have chosen for her. As the lighthouse becomes her nightly vigil, family pressure mounts, an engagement is arranged, and love is tested by absence, fear, and the silence of the sea.
At the edge of the storm, only one truth remains:
Some promises are stronger than convention.
Some love endures even the darkest waters.
And when the light shines again, everything must be chosen.
A sweeping historical romance of courage, sacrifice, and devotion-where love must weather the storm to find its way home.
