A crumbling lighthouse is not part of the inheritance Army doctor Ben Garrison expects to claim when he journeys to Hope Harbor. Fresh out of the service, he wants only to unload the tower of bricks, decompress from years of treating battlefield trauma, and prepare to launch his civilian career.
Hope Harbor Herald editor Marci Weber has other ideas. She may not be a Hope Harbor native, but the small Oregon seaside town has become home–and she’s determined to save the Pelican Point landmark.
Sparks fly as the two go head to head over the fate of the lighthouse. But when they start to cooperate, a different kind of fire ignites. And as they work together, might Hope Harbor heal the hearts of these two romance-wary souls?
Bestselling author Irene Hannon invites readers back to their favorite town for a story that will light a beacon of hope within their hearts.

"He owned a lighthouse. One that apparently no one wanted. Including him."
Army doctor Ben Garrison travels to Hope Harbor, Oregon for one reason, and for one reason only; to arrange a memorial for his recently deceased grandfather, whose estate includes the nostalgic, but crumbling Pelican Point lighthouse. It appears that his plans to return to civilian life as an orthopedic surgeon back in Ohio should be put on hold, as the town rallies to save their beloved landmark from an ambitious developer.
Leading the charge to maintain and restore the Pelican Point Lighthouse is Hope Harbor Herald's newspaper editor Marci Weber. Determined to smooth over the unfortunate first impression that she made on the handsome newcomer, Marci offers Ben some clever alternatives to a quick sale, unwittingly making her own presence in the process quite attractive. As their differences dissipate, Marci quivers at the thought of attachment to a man who has no intentions of calling Hope Harbor his home and Ben struggles to determine his path forward out of a place full of such fond memories.
Quite pleasant to read, "Pelican Point" does have some unexpected twists and a lovely side story, making it a beautiful addition to Irene Hannon's Hope Harbor series. And who can resist spending more time with Charley and his sage advice; for "It seems that sometimes we have to almost lose a blessing before we realize its value".
