Captain Alex Thomas has had his ship sunk by pirates off the coast of Washington State. The lone survivor of the attack and losing strength, he is about to drown, when suddenly pulled from the water and brought to shore. His rescuer is Sylvia Ross, the late lighthouse keeper's daughter. As he recuperates, the relationship between the two grows. To his surprise, he finds himself in love with her. But that love takes a backseat to revenge. Alex is determined to find and destroy the pirate who sank his ship. When Alex's new ship is again attacked by the same pirate, Ms. Leudecke gives the reader wonderful action. It is a nonstop fight to the death.The settings in Beacon of the Night are so well done. Leudecke's ability to paint with words the storm at sea, the landscape of the lighthouse, and the battle between Alex and the pirate makes for great visual effect. Her characters are likeable and the love story is sweet.A charming read.
