Beacon of Ruin (en Inglés) - Tamsin Grey

She pulled him from the sea. He never let go.

Nora Gallagher fled an abusive husband, erased her identity, and took a job no one else wanted - sole keeper of a remote lighthouse on a desolate island sixty miles off the coast of Maine. No phone. No visitors. No past. Just the ocean, the beacon, and a silence so vast it almost felt like peace.

Then the storm came.

She found him facedown in the tide pool. Half-dead. Blue-lipped. A shipwrecked stranger named Ronan with a body full of scars that had nothing to do with the sea. She dragged him inside, nursed him back to health, and waited for the supply boat to take him away.

He had other plans.

As Ronan heals, he begins to take over - her chores, her kitchen, her routine. Small things at first. A chair moved. A knife block repositioned. Then the radio goes silent. The key disappears. And the man she saved starts rewriting the rules of her carefully controlled world, one stolen inch at a time.

But Ronan doesn't break things. He fixes them. He seals her walls, splits her firewood, draws her baths. He makes the cage so warm she forgets it has bars. And when the supply boat finally appears on the horizon - her one chance at freedom - Nora must decide what terrifies her more: the man who refuses to leave, or the silence that will swallow her whole if he does.
