Love Unexpected (Beacons of Hope, Book 1) by Jody Hedlund

1859, Presque Isle, Michigan. All Emma Chambers ever wanted was a home, but when her steamboat sinks just outside Presque Isle, she's left destitute and with no place to stay. An unlikely solution arises when the lighthouse keeper arrives in town. He's just lost his wife and is having a difficult time caring for his child. So a traveling preacher gets the idea that the keeper and Emma might be the answer to each other's dilemma. Nothing in her aimless life, though, has prepared her for parenting a rambunctious toddler, as well as managing a household. Emma soon suspects Patrick may be hiding something from her, and then she hears a disturbing rumour about the circumstances surrounding his late wife's death. It seems as if her wish for a home and family of her own could end up leading her once more turbulent waters.
