When his pregnant wife dies in a shipwreck, Jesse Morgan gives up his wealth and place in Seattle society. He relegates himself to a tiny community where he dedicates his life to protecting others from the ocean. As keeper of a remote lighthouse along a dangerous coast in the Pacific Northwest, Jesse rejects all social contact so that he can brood about his loss. When the sea tosses up a beautiful pregnant woman, the lone survivor of another shipwreck, Jesse finds he has a second chance at life and love. Mary Dare is an outspoken Irish woman who takes poverty, single motherhood, and death in stride. She brings vitality, passion, and joy to Jesse's life and forces him to face his guilt and unhappiness. Mary's honesty and compassion transform Jesse, and together they find beauty in a simple life.

In a way, lighthouse keeper Jesse Morgan had been lost at sea since his wife had died. Then Mary Dare washed ashore--the sole survivor of a shipwreck. Penniless, pregnant and drowning in memories as painful as his own. He knew her past could threaten his safety, and he never meant to give her anything more than shelter--until she took his heart.
