Starlight Shores 5 - Seaside Renovations

A sweet small-town Gulf Coast romance with a historic lighthouse, family secrets, hidden rooms, and a guarded architect who may finally find a place to belong. Renowned architect Avery Winston likes her life as neat and orderly as her blueprints. After taking the blame for a scandal she didn’t cause, she plays it safe now, with her projects and with her heart. Then Winnie Lockhart calls. Anonymous newspaper articles claim the historic Lockhart Lighthouse is crumbling, and if the town believes them, Winnie could lose the light her family has kept for four generations. Avery plans a quick assessment and an even quicker exit. Instead, she clashes with Brad Young, the stubborn local contractor whose family has repaired the lighthouse tower for a century. To Brad, every question Avery asks about undocumented work feels like an insult to his grandfather’s name. But the deeper Avery digs, the stranger the old lighthouse becomes. Hidden spaces. Disguised modifications. And a sealed area holding vintage machines and a letter that could reopen the oldest wound in Starlight Shores. Some structures hold more than secrets. Some hold the chance to begin again. Seaside Renovations is book 5 in the Starlight Shores series. It is a small-town coastal women’s fiction novel about courage, healing, and finding your place again with a sweet, closed-door romance woven through the story. It is set against a decades-old lighthouse mystery that continues to unfold. Perfect for readers who love heartfelt journeys, close-knit communities, and stories of women rediscovering themselves.
