A fire that changes everything.
A coastal ranch in danger.
Three sisters risking everything for truth, for family, for love.


When Charley Garrett wakes to the smell of smoke, flames are already climbing the walls of her parents’ ranch house. By dawn, her father is in a coma, her mom is reeling, and their home is gone. With Shorelight Ranch hanging by a thread, Charley has to hold everything together. To do that, she will have to lean on Ray, the loyal foreman she has kept at arm’s length, and admit she cannot face this alone. She will need her sisters.

Vicky built an impressive corporate career in Manhattan, but after her divorce and a sudden dismissal, raising two teenagers with no job is more stressful than she will ever admit. In Portland, Nicole is trying to hold things together as a reporter and mom while her marriage slowly falls apart.

Now they’re back in Lighthouse Landing, where tensions flare, and unexpected sparks make everything more complicated. With an official report blaming their mother for the blaze and their father’s future uncertain, the Garrett sisters must stand together to uncover what really happened that night, or risk losing the ranch, the truth, and their own second chances for love.

The Hope We Keep, Book One in the Lighthouse Landing series, is a heartfelt, later-in-life, clean small-town beach read about family, starting over, and the secrets that can either shatter us or bring us home.
