The Widow's Light (Beaufort Blessings #1)

Some lights guide ships to harbor. Others guide hearts back to love.

Kate Ellis has been running Seaside Bakery alone for two years since losing her husband Matt to a storm off the Outer Banks. in grief and struggling to keep the bakery afloat, Kate has built walls around her heart, determined never to love — or lose — again.

When Jake Tanner, a carpenter with secrets of his own, blows into the small coastal town of Beaufort to help Pastor Reed with church repairs, the last thing he wants is to put down roots. Haunted by the car accident that took his wife and unborn child, Jake has spent years drifting from town to town, fixing what's broken for others while his own heart remains shattered.

But something about Kate's quiet strength and hidden vulnerability calls to him. As he offers to repair her leaking bakery roof, their cautious friendship begins to heal wounds neither thought would ever mend.

When a nor'easter threatens Beaufort and Pastor Reed's health takes a turn for the worse, Kate and Jake must confront their deepest fears. Can two broken souls trust God, and each other, enough to embrace a second chance at love? Or will the storms of the past keep them from finding safe harbor in each other's arms?

The Widow's Light is a moving tale of faith, forgiveness, and the courage to love again. First in the Beaufort Blessings series, this heartwarming Christian romance reminds us that even in our darkest moments, God's light still shines.
