About this audiobook
Wren Ahearn inherited a lighthouse cottage, a mortgage, and a caretaker who wishes she had stayed on the mainland.
Elias Thorne has kept the light for twenty-two years. He has not left the island in nine. He tells Wren, within an hour of meeting her, that the cottage is not for sale and neither is he. Then a nor'easter takes the cottage roof and she moves into his spare room, because there is nowhere else on the island to go.
Winter on Broken Shore is long. Wren learns the oil, the timing, the logbook — and the blank decade in it, the years Elias stopped writing. He is fifty-eight and carrying a family he lost off the shoal. She is twenty-five and carrying a life she hasn't started.
She tells him the truth in March. He doesn't take it well. He walks out to the point, and the light has to be kept, and there is only her.
An age gap grumpy sunshine coastal romance about a beacon, a blank page, and two people learning to work the same shift.
