At the edge of the world, the sea gives back what you thought was lost forever.
Dan didn't take a job as an isolated lighthouse keeper for the romance of the sea. He took it to hide. Recently divorced and finally acknowledging the truth about his sexuality, Dan has built a fortress of physical labor, cold saltwater, and a strict routine on a storm-battered rock in the Pacific. He tends the beacon, guards the island’s columbarium, and ensures no one can ever get close enough to hurt him again.
But the island has a pulse of its own.
When Dan unearths a hidden journal belonging to an 1894 lighthouse keeper, he discovers a legacy of ancient, primal magic tied to the tides and male virility. Dismissing it as the ramblings of a lonely madman, Dan recklessly performs a ritual offering to the sea.
The ocean answers.
A mysterious, gorgeous man washes ashore in the midst of a violent gale. Feral, secretive, and claiming to be the tide itself, the stranger shatters Dan's carefully constructed solitude. As the two men are forced into close, intoxicating proximity, the undeniable sexual tension between them threatens to dismantle every wall Dan has spent years building.
The Lighthouse Box is an atmospheric, passionate MM romance about grief, ancient sea magic, and the terrifying, beautiful vulnerability of finally letting someone in.
