The Lighthouse Keeps Her: A High-Heat Sapphic Monster Romance

The sea has been calling from beneath the lighthouse.

And something beautiful has answered.

Thirty-seven-year-old electrical engineer Mara Venn doesn't believe in sea monsters. She believes in faulty wiring, structural assessments, and finishing the job before anyone gets too attached.

Her latest assignment should be simple: inspect an aging lighthouse on the isolated Maine coast, prepare its modernization plan, and leave.

Then she discovers an impossibly beautiful creature bleeding on the rocks below Bellwether Light.

Ilyr is no helpless mermaid.

She's a 230-year-old Routewarden of an ancient underwater civilization, with eight powerful arms, luminous violet skin, enormous black eyes, and a terrifying determination to rescue the people who were stolen from her.

A ruthless corporation has been capturing her kind, exploiting their living technology, and transforming the ocean's ancient signals into deadly traps.

Mara is the only human Ilyr trusts.

And Ilyr is the last woman Mara should fall in love with.

But beneath the lighthouse, in a flooded chamber hidden from the world, fascination becomes desire. Desire becomes intimacy. And two women who have spent their lives refusing to depend on anyone discover a hunger neither knows how to resist.

As their enemies close in and the trapped creatures run out of time, Mara and Ilyr must risk everything to free the captives.

Including the fragile trust growing between them.

Because loving someone isn't the same as keeping them.

And sometimes the greatest act of love is leaving the door open.

The Lighthouse Keeps Her is a scorching sapphic paranormal monster romance featuring an eight-armed aquatic heroine, a stubborn human engineer, extraordinary supernatural intimacy, dangerous secrets, found family, and a deeply emotional happily-ever-after.
