Lighthouse Landing Series by Lucy Darling

The last place West Haven wanted to go was home. He'd escaped the island of Lighthouse Landing, leaving any family he thought he had behind. When news of his brother's death reached him, he was indifferent; that is, until he was informed that he was now the guardian of twin teenagers he never knew existed.

He'd escaped the island of Lighthouse Landing, leaving any family he thought he had behind. When news of his brother's death reached him, he was indifferent; that is, until he was informed that he was now the guardian of twin teenagers he never knew existed. He reluctantly agreed to return, but only to tie up loose ends. That had been the plan until the moment he saw Teddy and knew he had to have her. It didn’t matter that she was dating his nephew. She wasn’t meant to be anyone but West's. Her smiles, laughter, and her bright light--he wanted them all for himself. The island had taken enough from him; he still had the scars to prove it…. Now it's his turn to take what's his. Too bad he's more of a beast than a prince charming. Now he’s obsessing about all the ways to keep Teddy forever. Little does he know this beauty seeks out the darkest of places to shine her light. Welcome to Lighthouse Landing, a place filled with brooding heroes and sweetly sassy heroines covered with innocence. All these heroes are fiercely in pursuit of claiming their women and giving them their happily ever afters… and a little extra. *wink*. less

With her, I never stood a chance. Neither did she. Settling down had never even crossed my mind before I laid eyes on her. Survival had always been the goal until I could get my legs under me. Now, I rule my empire that was built on my own blood. I’ve fought for everything I have, and Willa will be no exception. I won’t rest until she’s mine, forever. In my shadowy world, there is nowhere for her to hide. Not when her bright light is so easily seen in all the darkness that surrounds me... moreWith her, I never stood a chance. Neither did she.

I should feel guilt for what I’m going to do. For tricking her into believing me, into marrying me, and most of all, into loving me. I will claim her and bring her into my world as mine, consuming her until all she can see is me. Nothing will keep me from what belongs to me, including my new sweet wife. less
