Julia's Joy
She came to claim her inheritance, but the mysterious scarred lighthouse keeper makes her question all her plans.
When Julia Collins reluctantly sets foot on Sister Island, compelled by her wealthy grandmother’s will, she is intent on claiming her inheritance and moving on. But when she experiences the peaceful, faith-filled life of the island occupants, and their handsome Lightkepper, William, Julia finds herself confronting the open wounds of her parents’ deaths and looking for something more. William Dodge, lightkeeper of Sister Island, harbors a heart hardened by a past betrayal. Between that and his chronic pleurisy, he has become disinterested in love. So when Julia arrives on the island, bursting with vitality and unconventional notions, William’s world is turned upside down. As she chips away at the walls William has built for himself, he finds his reluctance to love again waning. But just as love begins to blossom between them, Julia is faced with a tempting proposal from a prominent Brockville family. Will Julia succumb to societal expectations, or will she choose the newfound richness of her island life and the love of the steadfast lightkeeper? |
