Some doors stay locked for a reason. Others wait for the right storm. Seven weeks after claiming Mercer Bookshop, Claire has found her rhythm in the foggy coastal town of Gullhaven, Maine. The ghost is settled now, but not gone. Cal makes her wonder if starting over at forty-eight might include more than she planned. Then someone starts destroying the town's most beloved tradition.
A light moves inside a lighthouse tower that should be empty. The Stormlight Festival is Gullhaven's heart. Every winter solstice, the old lighthouse lamp burns again. But this year brings cut ropes, smashed decorations, and threatening notes. The town thinks it is festival drama, until Claire touches the wrong piece of evidence and sees something impossible. The lighthouse is not just a landmark. It is an anchor. The bookshop was only one piece of a binding that has kept the thin place stable for nearly a century. Now someone wants what is hidden beneath the lighthouse, and they are willing to tear apart Gullhaven's traditions to get it. As Claire's psychic knack grows stronger, and more dangerous, she must learn to use it intentionally while protecting the people she has come to love. Cal is keeping secrets about his family's role in the lighthouse's magic, and his guilt over a duty he abandoned years ago. To face what is coming, Claire will have to trust not just her new abilities, but her choice to belong in a town that is becoming home. The winter solstice storm is building. The lighthouse must hold. And this time, showing up might not be enough. A Vigil at Gullhaven Lighthouse is Book 2 in the Gullhaven: The Stormbound Bookshop series, a cozy paranormal mystery with gothic winter atmosphere, a deepening slow-burn romance that stays sweet and closed-door, and a midlife heroine learning that belonging does not require being useful, just being present.
