The Lighthouse Keeper
(2017)(The first book in the Starlight Cove series)
A novel by Cynthia Ellingsen
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.
Genre: Mystery

Praise for this book
"I wanted to stay in Starlight Cove—Cynthia Ellingsen’s fictional town is magical, and its people and its mysteries, both past and present, are too much fun to leave behind." - Alison Atlee
"The Lighthouse Keeper hooked me in the first paragraph with two of my favorite things—Lake Michigan and treasure hunting—and it never let go. This is a charming novel about family mysteries, love letters, and figuring out where you belong. Grab an Adirondack chair, try to find a lake view, and sit down with this book—you won't want to get up until you turn that last page." - Elizabeth LaBan
