An Amazon Charts bestseller.

Dawn Conners’s parents are famous for finding historic treasures, but she has a knack for losing things - her job, her boyfriend, and now, her reputation. Thanks to a mud-slinging exposé, Dawn’s late great-grandfather is assumed guilty of stealing silver from a century-old shipwreck. Hoping to clear his name, Dawn returns to Starlight Cove, her idyllic hometown on Lake Michigan, where the doomed vessel sleeps beneath the beam of a ramshackle lighthouse.

Her plan: remodel and sell the lighthouse while untangling the perplexing family mystery. Neither task is easy, especially once her well-meaning parents and the quirky locals - including nautical researcher and Starlight Cove’s most eligible bachelor, Kip Whittaker - get involved. Despite their attraction, Dawn is reluctant to trust Kip, or any of the close-knit townsfolk. But as she pieces together the truth, Dawn’s once-shuttered heart opens up. And if she’s willing, the lighthouse might guide her to a place she never expected to find, where the past entwines with a bright new beginning.

This book is wonderful! I have lived on Lake Michigan my whole life. The way the author described the feelings that come with my Great Lake, combined with the energy of living in a small tourist town made my heart flutter. I began reading this book last night, and was sad when I had to go to sleep because I didn't want to put it down. I'll be sending a copy of this book to my mom. To the author: thank you!

Michigan <3

The characters are likable but there was one (or two) many times explaining her trust issues. It made me fast forward a couple of times. The voice sounded system generated often.

Entertaining story line but has some flaws.

Loved this story, truly has it all! Made me happy cry. Romance, history, adventure, mystery and more!

Hubby and I LOVED this story!

Way more romance than mystery. Glad I bought as a daily deal. Predictable. Horrible narration. Trying to finish last five hours without too many more eye rolls. A very young girly type book.

Lighthouse keeper was a new 'genre' for me. I don't have a lot of patience the majority of the time and a book has to catch my interest at the beginning or it doesn't get finished. Just check my reviews. While Lighthouse didn't keep me on the edge of my seat at all times, I was intrigued with the goings on, the findings, and the drama.

I've listened to Kate Rudd before, enjoyed her narrations then and enjoyed it this time.
