A small-town romantic comedy featuring forced proximity, quirky humor, coastal charm, and a love story sparked by terrible timing. Small town. Big feelings. Terrible timing. Clara Hawkins, the eccentric lighthouse keeper of the peculiar New England coastal town of Beacon’s End, likes her life exactly the way it is—quiet, unplugged, and delightfully strange. No neighbors. No internet. Just her sketchbook, her underground comic strip, and the daily ritual of yelling at seagulls. That carefully balanced solitude is capsized when Jack Callahan, a charming carpenter with a talent for landing in the wrong place at the wrong time, quite literally crash-lands into her backyard during a summer storm. Thanks to a boating mishap and a town that treats privacy as a suggestion, Clara and Jack are suddenly stuck sharing her lighthouse. Forced proximity turns into a collision of habits, personalities, and unsolicited home improvements, all under the watchful eye of Beacon’s End’s eccentric residents—who are more than happy to play Cupid. But when Jack’s past resurfaces and Clara’s comic strip catches the attention of a major publisher, their accidental idyll is suddenly at risk. With the town’s zany summer festival looming, they must decide whether what they’ve found is just another fleeting moment—or a love worth rewriting their lives for. Because sometimes the best love stories aren’t planned at all—they arrive during storms, inside lighthouses, and exactly when you least expect them. A laugh-out-loud, feel-good romantic comedy perfect for fans of small-town romance, forced proximity, quirky heroines, eccentric communities, and slow-burn chemistry with heart.
