The Lighthouse Paperback – October 22, 2021
Purchase options and add-ons
Enchanting, mysterious, and deeply romantic, The Lighthouse follows a young woman's breathtaking journey far from home to discover where she truly belongs.
Something strange is happening in Seabrook. The town's lighthouse-dormant for over thirty years and famously haunted-has inexplicably started shining, and its mysterious glow is sparking feverish gossip throughout the spooked community.
Amy Tucker is only visiting for the night and has no plans to get caught up in the hysteria, but that changes when she meets Ryan, the loyal, hard-working son of a ranch owner who lives on the outskirts of town.
Their chance encounter turns into an unforgettable weekend, and against the backdrop of the lighthouse-obsessed town, the two of them forge a deep connection, opening their hearts, baring their souls, and revealing secrets long kept hidden.
But as they grow closer, and as the lighthouse glows ever brighter, a startling discovery about Ryan leaves Amy questioning everything she thought she knew. To uncover the truth about her new friend, Amy will need to enter Seabrook's ominous tower, where waiting inside she will not only find the reason why fate has brought them together... but a shocking secret that will change the course of their lives forever.

About the author
Christopher was born in Takapuna, a seaside suburb in Auckland, New Zealand, where he currently lives with his daughter. Having loved writing stories growing up, it was a walk along Takapuna beach and a chance glimpse at a distant lighthouse that made him want to revisit his childhood passion and try his hand at producing a novel. Nearly ten years on from that fateful stroll, he is proud to finally share his story.
The Lighthouse is Christopher’s first novel.

Never in my life have read a book I was so glued to not wanting to put down, yet at one point pull away,take a walk and dry my eyes ( it really hit at the heart personally) .
Bravo to the author for a well written masterpiece.

All was chugging along quite normally until suddenly the tale took
a surreal twist, involving a young couple who had both lost their
mothers; and the introduction of the Lighthouse threw a completely
new light on it all. (sorry about that).
I warmed to the strangeness, the other worldly feel to it all, and put
it all down to a very nice little love story, which kept you thinking right
to the end.
Gave you a nice warm little glow inside - there's that Lighthouse again!
I enjoyed that the author didn't leave the story with an unsatisfactory ending
The book came to a delightful conclusion
