Escape to Lighthouse Cove: The BRAND NEW romantic coastal escape from million-copy bestseller Kate Hewitt for 2026

Discover a BRAND NEW utterly gorgeous romantic series from MILLION COPY bestselling author Kate Hewitt! 🐚💛 Grace came to the rugged Maine island of Lighthouse Cove for peace. Will reconnecting with nature and the quiet magic of the coast help her find love and happiness?✨

Grace longs only to hide away. Fleeing both a traumatic marriage and a scandal-laden divorce, she needs to disappear somewhere safe with her six-year-old son Jacob.

Finding the job running a small nature reserve on the remote, beautiful island of Lighthouse Cove off the rugged Maine coast feels like a miracle. It’s a tiny slice of land with a population of exactly twelve—about as much peace and solitude as a person could possibly dream of. But Grace isn’t the only one looking to hide away.

No sooner has she arrived than she has a run-in with Noah Lawrence, the reclusive, fiercely unfriendly but dangerously attractive billionaire owner of the island, when she attempts to rescue a seal on the desolate shoreline of his magnificent gated property.

Noah ends up having to rescue her and Jacob, but his arrogant remoteness infuriates Grace because it reminds her so much of her ex-husband— privileged, wealthy, and without morals. Even if Noah is totally gorgeous, there’s no way she wants to get involved with a man like that.

But Noah has just as many secrets as she does, and he has reasons to want to hide away, too. Grace is about to find out that even when you try to hide from the world, you can’t hide from your feelings…

\[This novel is the first in the Lighthouse Cove series, but is a standalone with a HEA.\]
