An educated woman, a teacher of all things, but why else did he feel this way? He'd been surprised finding her so far from her home. Did all women act so irresponsibly? Or was it only the ones he cared about?"I'd rather you'd stay closer to home. I'm sure you feel capable of taking care of yourself, and in most cases that's probably true, but not out here." He looked around them, able to see across the prairie for miles. "It looks peaceful, doesn't it?"The expression on her face softened as she followed his gaze.

I don't have the right to tell you what to do, but there're a lot of people depending on you. Your students and their parents. None of them want you laid up, or worse."Again, her expression changed. This time she appeared to come to a decision of some sort. Her lashes lowered before lifting as her beautiful brown eyes locked with his, revealing a hidden hurt deep inside. "I see."The house where she rented a room loomed in the distance. Adam slowed to a stop and faced her. "No, I don't think you do."He looked from her eyes to her lips.

Was it a whimper? No matter. Reason returned, and he jerked upright. "I'm sorry. I need to get back. Brant's waiting for me to help."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lighthouses have long been the symbol of salvation, warning sailors away from dangerous rocks and shallow waters. Along the Great Lakes, America’s inland seas, lighthouses played a vital role in the growth of the nation. They shepherded settlers traveling by water to places that had no roads. These beacons of light required constant tending even in remote and often dangerous places. Brave men and women battled the elements and loneliness to keep the lights shining.

Logging foreman Benjamin Colfax needs the height of the lighthouse to determine the best cutting route, but he senses something amiss in Ava and her determination to remain reclusive. Can he get her to open up, or will she keep herself locked away? Safe Haven by Rebecca Jepson 1892—Old Mission Point Lighthouse Rose Miller was found on the lighthouse doorstep as an infant, and now she must hide her quest to find the child who left her there from Captain Nathan Perry, the man she loves to hate. Love’s Beacon by Carrie Fancett Pagels 1898—Round Island Lighthouse Valerie Fillman's best hope for a future lies on the tiny island that holds her worst memories. Can Paul Sholtus, the new lightkeeper, and his daughter help bring healing? And love?
