The first novel in the spellbinding Arrington series The Girl in the Lighthouse is the haunting story of Lillian Arrington; a beautiful daughter of the lighthouse keeper, whose once blissful, sheltered childhood turns haplessly tragic. Set in the late 19th century, the unforgettable saga is immersed in chilling betrayals, shocking family secrets, lost love and shattered lives.
Book II~ The sequel
It is the year 1878, and at last, Lillian, now a young woman, is free from the prison called Sutton Hall and the evil grandmother who ruled. After years locked away and far from her beloved lighthouse on Jasper Island, she finds her only escape through sheer luck and the generosity of one man, Richard Parker, an aspiring commercial illustrator. Though Lillian is shamed by the sins of her parents, and the unspeakable act committed by Warren Stone, she entrusts her life to the charismatic, though married, Richard Parker, until it is safe to return home.
However life, as unpredictable as the sea, has other plans for Lillian.
Not long after leaving, she is caught up in an adult world of money, greed, drugs, and sinful pleasures, turning her life upside down once again.
It is only when Lillian discovers the shocking truth to Richard’s cruel years of deception that she finally returns to her lighthouse, desperate to recapture her lost years, and most of all, lost love.
But fate has one more devastating surprise in store, leaving Lillian with incomprehensible choices, and ultimately, tearing her beautiful new world apart.
