A Light in the Darkness – Mysteries of Martha’s Vineyard – Book 1

A Light in the Darkness is the first book in the Mysteries of Martha’s Vineyard mystery fiction series.

Priscilla arrives at her new lighthouse, a little overwhelmed by what she’s taken on.  She meets Gerald O’Bannon, local Coast Guard captain, who tells her that thanks to a newspaper article, everyone has a revived passion for finding a British treasure stolen during the Revolution and hidden somewhere on the island.   She discovers an old chest full of logbooks written by the lighthouse keepers over the years.  As she’s trying to read the entries in one of the oldest books, a gold coin falls out.  It’s British and dated 1775.  Did she just find a piece of the missing treasure?  The search for answers is on and could have far-reaching consequences.

What does a Kansas farm girl know about hidden treasure and rising tides, maritime history and local mystery?  Not much, but to save her lighthouse and family reputation, she better learn quickly!

Come along and experience the unique challenges and fresh discoveries facing landlubber Priscilla Latham Grant, when she inherits a lighthouse and keeper’s cottage on beautiful Martha’s Vineyard.  As she settles into her new home, she discovers a trio of long-lost cousins, and, together, they shed light on a storm of mysteries and secrets that seem to surface in Priscilla’s wake.  She also finds her daily life intertwined with a tall, dark and handsome Coast Guard captain.  Will their friendship blossom into something more?  Only time will tell.
