Where the Light Gets In — A Second-Chance Romance of Healing and Hope

She left him in the rain, six years ago, with a burned-out porch light and a silence she couldn't break.

Lena Vance has built a careful life in Chicago, far from the coastal town of Port Eliza, Maine, and the memories that still haunt her. But when her beloved aunt dies, Lena is pulled back to the crumbling cottage on Saltwater Lane — and the life she fled. She expects grief. She expects guilt. She doesn't expect to find Cole Sullivan, the man she never stopped loving, still living in the house on Hillcrest Road, still working in the same workshop, still carrying the same unbearable weight she carries.

Cole has spent six years mending what was broken: the porch light, the house, himself. He's built a fragile peace through woodwork, therapy, and the quiet stubbornness of a man who refuses to give up hope. But when Lena walks into the Port Eliza Market and back into his life, every carefully constructed wall begins to crack.

Together, they discover that Lena's aunt left behind more than a house — she left a dream. A sailing program for grieving children, abandoned when funding ran out, waiting for someone to bring it back to life. As Lena and Cole work side by side to build a fleet of small boats, they are forced to confront the tragedy that shattered them: the loss of their daughter, Eleanor, and the silence that grew in her absence.

Told with warmth, restraint, and deep emotional honesty, Where the Light Gets In is a luminous, unforgettable novel about the long, difficult work of healing — and the undeniable truth that broken things, when carefully mended, can let in the most beautiful light.

For readers of Colleen Hoover, Mia Sheridan, and Nicholas Sparks, this is a story that will break your heart and stitch it back together, one page at a time.
