To an outsider, Cassandra Shaw's life looks perfect. She lives in a beautiful, luxurious house in the English countryside, with a handsome, wealthy boyfriend who insists she needn't do a day's work in her life. But Cassie knows that something is not right. Her boyfriend has grown colder, treating her more like a housekeeper than a future wife. And her time feels empty and purposeless. Cassandra has always been riddled with insecurities and self-doubt, but, just for once, she decides to take a chance on a new beginning. She answers an advert for a live-in nanny, dogwalker, cook and all-round 'Superhuman' for a family living in a rambling manor house on the rugged North Cornish coast. The work is hard and tiring, but Cassie has never felt so fulfilled. As Cassie learns to connect with the natural beauty unfolding around her, Cornwall starts to offer up its secrets. Soon, Cassie starts wondering if she was drawn to this isolated part of the coast for a reason. Why was she guided to Foxcombe Manor? What are the flashes of light she sees in the valley? Is it her imagination or does someone brush past her? And who is the mysterious man living deep in the woods?

She's keeper of the lighthouse. He's captain of the ship. The light of Golowduyn brings them together-but secrets may tear them apart. Abigail Moore will do anything to keep Golowduyn Lighthouse shining brightly-even if she must do so without anyone's help, including that of her injured uncle, her only living relative. She soon grew accustomed to the hard work required of her, but when a shipwreck occurs on her shore one stormy evening-bringing with it a dashing captain keen to offer his aide at every turn-her life shifts forever. Captain Gavin Kendricks knew his time in the navy was coming to an end, especially after his shipwreck on the rugged coast of Cornwall, though he had no direction for where his life was headed afterward. Everything changes when he meets the fearless and quick-tempered Miss Moore, for he finally realizes what his life has been missing. However, before he can explore these newfound desires, tragedy befalls the lighthouse. And there is only one way to save it-Abigail must marry the captain. She humbly accepts the arrangement, and their attraction to one another grows. But when her secrets are unearthed and underhanded tactics are used to drive them from the lighthouse-and away from each other-their marriage threatens to crumble. Gavin believes he has earned Abigail's trust, but only Abigail can let go of her debilitating memories of the past to trust Gavin with the lighthouse-and her heart.
