The Secret of Ruby s Lighthouse A totally gripping and heartbreaking page turner Dune Island

Ruby rocks in her favorite chair and tries not to think about the past. This family inn, with views across the grassy dunes to the lighthouse standing against bright blue sky, is all she's ever known. But Ruby has been keeping a secret all these years... this summer, has the time finally come to share it?

Meg Carter can't wait to spend the summer with her great-aunt Ruby, helping renovate her charming-if a little old-fashioned-inn by the ocean. But a surprise arrival changes their plans. Simon, grandson of the former owners, is selling his land next door to a luxury resort developer. The plans are certain to ruin the beautiful view of the lighthouse, which has guided lost seafarers home for generations... and put Ruby's inn out of business for good.

Forget sorting through Ruby's classic book collection and spring cleaning the bedrooms: there might not ever be any new guests if the plans go ahead. Simon may be tall and handsome, with eyes like green sea glass, but he's stubborn to boot... and Meg's discussions with him always end in fireworks.

Then Ruby says she has a secret about Simon to share. But the elderly lady only has time to say "the lighthouse holds the key" before becoming desperately ill.

Distraught, all Meg cares about is her beloved aunt's health. Ruby is in no state to share her secret now: but what if it could save the inn for good? A tour of the lighthouse, with its glittering glass lamp and red-and-white stripes, brings Meg no closer to the truth... and it's against her better judgment that she takes long walks on the beach with Simon, and even grows close to his sweet children.

But is she wrong to open her heart to the one person who could hold the answers? And will Meg ever solve the secret of the lighthouse - before it's too late for the inn, and for Ruby?

An utterly addictive escapist read that will sweep you away to the gorgeous coastline of Dune Island. Fans of Debbie Macomber, Mary Alice Monroe and Elin Hilderbrand won't be able to put this down.
