Beneath the Broom Tree
St. Ninian's Sanctuary Book One
The reality was right here, trembling beneath her hand: a beautiful man brought to his knees, looking for God but finding haunting instead…
On a remote island retreat center, shattered journalist Ione Stavros seeks refuge from the haunting memories of her last story. St. Ninian’s Sanctuary promises space for healing and restoration, which better be true, because this is her last hope.
Soon she encounters Callen McGill, a search and rescue paramedic tormented by a fatal failure. Although she tries to keep her distance, their paths constantly cross, drawing them into unexpected connection—and danger—as they both seek to hear God’s voice.
Together they dig into the island’s mysteries and explore its beauty. But as Ione begins to heal, Callen retreats further into his painful past, drifting ever away from her. Only when crisis strikes does he begin to understand God’s plans for him, for Ione, and for this island both of them have grown to love.
St. Ninian’s Sanctuary, contemporary Christian romance where faith, healing, and second chances converge on a mysterious island at the bottom of the world.

Jill's Notes
- What readers say most about this book is “I wish St. Ninian’s was a real place.” Oh, dear reader, so do I. I would send all of you tickets, and we could have the most wonderful gathering of souls.
- When I wrote this book, I had plans for the first four. I had no idea I would love writing these so much or that, a decade later, readers would still be asking for more.
- As I write this, there are nineteen books written, two books in a spinoff series waiting their turn, and plans for at least four more.
- The series is in Kindle Unlimited except for this book, which is always free at many retailers.
- For one of the big scenes in the book, I had to do a deep dive into bone fractures. I can only say yuck. Personally, I have never broken a bone.
- Almost anything else I write in this box will spoil future books….
