As the Mist Scatters

St. Ninian's Sanctuary Book Two

As the Mist Scatters cover

He wants to forget. She wants to belong. God may want them to heal.

When the doctors told Huck his shattered leg would take a year to heal, he was angry. For years building St. Ninian’s Sanctuary had been Huck’s identity, say nothing of how many demons the hard work kept at bay. With nothing to do now but heal, he’s lonely, haunted, and doesn’t know who he is.

Pearl O’Day is the new head of the hospitality department as well as the only single mother on the island. She’s not sure she belongs here—and some of the staff seems to agree—but she also has no place to go if this doesn’t work out. The job that seemed too good to be true might end up her biggest mistake, and that shakes her faith and her confidence to the core.

God seems to have plans to address this pair’s pasts and pain, and it won’t be easy. The only hope is that they don’t lose something precious to both of them along the way.

As the Mist Scatters is book two of the St. Ninian’s Sanctuary series, small-town Christian contemporary romance with a mysterious island twist.

Jill's Notes

  • There’s a four-book mystery arc at the beginning of this series, and this is the book where we realize it might be solvable.
  • Each chapter in this book begins with a line from Carmina Gadelica, a compilation of traditional Celtic prayers. The title comes from this collection, too. They’re very practical: prayers for their crops, their fisherman, their sleep, and every other aspect of their lives.
  • This book has an audiobook version, read by me. I’m not sure that’s a good thing or not.
  • This book is in Kindle Unlimited.
