Lights of a Hometown Harbor

When Morgan, a writer for a Seattle children’s show, advertises for a boarder to help share the rent on her Whidbey Island lighthouse, she has no idea that it will bring with it a part of the past she yearns to forget. Her new tenant is Barry Wells, an entertainment lawyer from New York. Wealthy, articulate, respectful, devastatingly handsome and, from the ring on his left hand, married. While Wells will certainly solve her current financial woes, a new crisis was created the moment their eyes met. Suddenly, her peaceful life is turned upside down by questions that have no answers - the family he seems to devoted to and yet leaves for the entire summer...his pride and joy - a darling little daughter whose face reminds Morgan of the painful emptiness in her own life. And why should Barry Wells come all the way to Whidbey if he's searching for new talent in Seattle? One look at him and it's obvious that he has never stayed anywhere but the very best hotels. He belongs on the cover of GQ, she thinks, not in an Eddie Bauer catalogue. The tension mounts when Morgan discovers by accident that he has a connection to Vinnie Prosio, her ex-husband - an aspiring musician at the time they divorced but now a rock superstar with all the excesses that go with it.
