North Hope Cove

The only surviving victim of a newsworthy tragedy, lighthouse keeper Daniel Howard has found comfort in his quiet life of peaceable routine, minimal contact with the outside world, and useful work. What he likes less, but has learned to live with, is that the cliffs surrounding his light station have a tragic history as a location for suicides.Soon after learning his beloved lighthouse may soon be automated--potentially forcing him back into the world he does not trust-Daniel discovers another significant potential disruption to his peaceful life: a man at the cliff's edge. The man is Justin Strongbow, a widower who inherited the inn he and his spouse co-owned, but with no wish to maintain it, and who has had a lifetime struggle with extended episodes of deep depression.One man unable to forgive himself for a perceived failure, the other unwilling to burden another with the weight of his troubles, yet they are drawn to each other and-despite the stormy present-to the possibility of brighter days ahead.
