The Lighthouse on Plum Island by Amy Rafferty

‘She knew that she had to somehow get over him fast, especially if she was going to be working with him’…

Caroline Shaw’s life took a drastic turn four years ago when her father’s passing left her with a dilapidated cottage on Plum Island, New England.
Six months later, her 15-year marriage crumbled due to her husband’s infidelity. With no choice but to uproot her and her 14-year-old daughter, Jules, from their New York City lives, they headed to Plum Island.
Years later, Caroline is struggling to meet ends meet in the small library she runs, and her relationship with Jules is fraying as her daughter’s resentment for the divorce grows.
Her only solace is her mystery book series, and as it turns out, it’s her saving grace.

Her oldest friend Jennifer, who happens to be a Chief Editor at a prestigious New York publishing house, encourages Caroline to submit her book series: the Cobble Cottage Mysteries. When she finally summons the courage, Caroline finds herself flown to New York to talk about turning her series into a television show and runs into a charming, handsome man named Brad. They quickly hit it off, spending four days travelling New York together. She doesn’t want him to know about her embarrassing divorce, but dodging questions is surprisingly easy since he’s just as tight-lipped about his past as she is.

The adventure in New York ends when she heads back to Plum Island to start filming her series. She leaves Brad behind as a fond memory—or so she thinks.
The moment she returns to Plum Island, Caroline finds herself staring at a familiar face.
Brad. Whose actual name is Brandon Danes, and who is going to be the director for her new television series.
Amidst the chaos of filming a television series, Caroline forges forward to rekindle her relationship with her daughter and her unexpected bond with Brad deepens.
But can she open her heart again after so much betrayal and disappointment? And what else is Brad hiding?
