Description: Lightkeeper's daughter: "At a lavish estate in Mercy Falls, California, Addie Sullivan finds danger--and quite possibly the love of her life. Growing up as the lightkeeper's daughter on a remote island at the turn of the century, Addie Sullivan has lived a hardscrabble life. When a long-lost and wealthy relative finds her and enlists her to work as a governess at a lavish estate, she hopes to discover the truth of her heritage. But at Eaton Hall, nothing is as it seems. Not the idyllic family she hoped for, not the child she was hired to help, not even the aloof man she's immediately attracted to. Soon she must turn for help to Lieutenant John North, a man who views her with suspicion. As Addie edges closer to the truth, danger threatens even as her romance with John blossoms and together they unravel a decades-old mystery"--Publisher.

Lightkeeper's bride: "When Katie answers the call of duty, she discovers the call of her heart. Katie Russell loves working as a telephone operator in Mercy Falls. But since childhood she has been expected to marry well. Her family presses for an engagement to wealthy bachelor Bartholomew Foster and though he doesn't stir her heart, their engagement promises a secure financial future. Working the phone lines one evening, Katie overhears a chilling exchange between her friend Eliza and a familiar male voice. Katie soon learns that Eliza has disappeared, and the crime may be linked to another investigation by handsome new lighthouse keeper, Will Jasperson. Katie and Will soon form an alliance that slowly grows into something deeper. The more Katie uncovers of the mystery, the more she learns about her past, and the brilliant future that could be hers if only she has the courage to trust God and follow where her heart so fearlessly leads"--Publisher.
