Author's first name is Ian I think. About a teenage girl living on an island in a lighthouse, with her family I believe, meets an older man, has a sexual relationship with him, family doesn't know about it. Her nickname might be squid. I read it in the early to mid 2000s and I think it was newish at that point.

None of those unfortunately. I think it was geared towards an older audience then the books on that list. Thank you though.
If not juvenile, use 'any audience' in the limiters on advanced search, and browse again.
If not, don't put lighthouse in the title. Put it in keywords. Keep trying!

Here's a description from Amazon: "On Snow Island, a remote community off the New England coast, sixteen-year-old Alice Daggett struggles to come to terms with her father's death while managing the family store. George Tibbits, a loner in his forties and owner of the island's twin houses, returns each year in an act of homage to the women who raised him there. While George tries to make peace with his troubled past and Alice befriends the twenty-six-year-old who tends the island lighthouse, both characters learn the hard lesson of what it means to love. This tender tale about the power of place and memory plumbs the depths of two unique and uncharted lives. As the country is drawn into World War II, George and Alice find their fates shaped by events that occur far from the island home that defines them."
It's not that one. The island is quite isolated, the girl meeting a stranger is unusual.

Shortly after Squid's encounter with a visiting kayaker resulted in her pregnancy
