Born into wealth, Evelyn Prescott is accustomed to lavish parties, fine clothing, and carefully planned futures. She is also accustomed to living by others’ expectations, including marrying the man her parents want her to marry. Feeling trapped in a life she cannot control and desperate for freedom, she flees to escape the engagement she never wanted. When a sudden storm shatters her plans, wrecking the vessel along the rocky coast and leaving her unconscious near a remote lighthouse, she awakens with no memory of who she is or the weight of expectations waiting for her on the mainland.
After a woman he loved left him for another man, Henry Thornton sought refuge in his job as the lighthouse keeper. Content with the comfort of the sea, offering a life free from attachments, he buries himself in the safety of routine and isolation. When he rescues a woman from the wreckage, her presence stirs emotions he thought were long dead, and as the days pass and she makes herself at home in his quiet world, Henry finds himself drawn to her in ways he never thought possible.
When Evelyn’s identity finally comes to light, she is pulled back into the life she thought she had escaped—a life where duty and obligation rule and her desires pay the price. With her wedding day drawing near, she is faced with an impossible choice: follow the future her family demands or abandon everything for the lighthouse keeper who has captured her heart.
Will Evelyn choose the life she was born into—or risk everything for the love she never expected to find?
