In 1880, Abbie Watson loves her quiet life tending Rose Island Lighthouse off the coast of Rhode Island, but her grandfather's failing memory threatens to cost them their home. When wealthy Newport socialite Nathaniel Winthrop III washes ashore after a yachting accident, a head injury leaves him with no memory of his past—and the mistaken belief that Abbie is his wife. Knowing his presence helps calm her grandfather and may prevent their eviction, Abbie allows the misunderstanding to continue, even as her feelings for Nathaniel deepen. But as the truth becomes harder to conceal, she must face the possibility that Nathaniel will leave when his memory returns and he discovers her deception. This Christian historical romance blends a mistaken marriage, seaside lighthouse life, and themes of forgiveness, trust, and hope.
