When the dark comes early, they learn to light for two.

Newlyweds Marin and Jonah inherit a battered lighthouse and a family gene for night-blindness. Renovation becomes marriage therapy: chalked risers, red headlamps, rails rebuilt, a retired Fresnel lens restored for display—not for drama. As winter storms batter their Salish Sea islet, pride and fear crash louder than waves. With a ferry-town full of helpers, they trade noble lies for plain requests and write the rules that keep them: Ask sooner. Answer clearly. No stairs alone after dusk. "Okay?" "Okay."

Perfect for readers of coastal, community-rich romances, The Lighthouse Marriage delivers tear-clearing catharsis and a firm HEA—proof that love is logistics, kept daily. marriage-in-trouble • caretaking both ways • found family • competence & healing
