The Book

Sometimes the road home isn't on a map.

After a painful breakup and a stalled career, journalist Kaiah Ross sets out on a reporting road trip down the East Coast, hoping the miles will help her find her way again. But when car trouble strands her in the postcard-perfect town of Coral Cove, she's forced to stop running--and unexpectedly finds herself drawn into a life that feels like something out of a dream.

Reid Turner has spent years putting others first--his career as a firefighter, his spirited young daughter, Piper, and the small town he's always called home. The last thing he's looking for is a relationship. But from the moment Kaiah arrives, her kindness, warmth, and quiet strength stir something in him he thought was long buried.

When Kaiah agrees to help promote the town's annual "Light the Dark" Festival--a celebration meant to save Coral Cove's historic lighthouse--what begins as a simple arrangement quickly turns into something more. Late nights of planning under string lights, shared laughter over coffee, and quiet, heartfelt moments with Piper begin to weave Kaiah into the fabric of Reid's life . . . and into his heart.

But just as love begins to blossom, Kaiah is faced with an offer that could relaunch her career and take her far from Coral Cove. Now, she's forced to choose between the life she thought she wanted and the unexpected love that's given her a glimpse of home.

The Lighthouse at the Cove is a tender, romantic escape to a coastal town where hearts heal, hope shines, and love finds a way--right when you least expect it.

Book Review

'Hallmark-style' truly is the best description for this heartwarming story... and as a big fan of Hallmark stories, I absolutely mean that in the very best way possible. This was a tender romance that, while not shying away from hard topics, also felt perfectly cozy too. I found myself enjoying the visit to this little town of Coral Cove. It was filled with all the smalltown charm and overall feeling of home and family that I could ask for. Kaiah and Reid had a really sweet chemistry between them that easily won me over. I found myself really loving both of these characters and rooting for their happily ever after. They had a lot to work through to get there, but I enjoyed every minute. If you enjoy Christian romance with smalltown charm, this is one you'll want to check out for yourself.
