So worldly, and yet so innocent…

In the midst of a media scandal, young actress Tiffani Belvedere accepts Dusk Deveraux’s invitation to seek asylum on his island retreat center on the far side of the world. As a little girl, she acted with Dusk, and she knows he’ll be a safe port during her storm.

On the plane she meets Davey Barrett, who grew up working in his family’s grocery store. Questioning his own future and value, this man who considers himself boring has no idea how much his kindness and gentle strength call to the distressed actress.

As they explore the island together, Tiffani and Davey Barrett forge an unexpected friendship–the first friendship of her life. Then her past catches up to her, and she realizes she might have put everyone she loves in danger just by showing up. 

God will have to do a mighty work in her life—and in the life of the grocer who doesn’t know himself—to get this pair moving in the right direction, one that might lead them to one another.

Thy Presence My Light is book thirteen in the St. Ninian’s Sanctuary series, small-town Christian romance with a mysterious island twist.

Jill's Notes

  • Most people don’t realize Davey Barrett came from the Straw Hats and Old Lace series. This is because I mistimed and released them in reverse order. Davey shows up here, and a few weeks later I released Sunglasses and Attitude, about his sister, Jane, which happened before this book.
  • Be Thou My Vision is one of my favorite hymns. It plays a prominent role in this book.
  • Dusk Deveraux, who runs the island, is a reader favorite. In this book we get another glimpse of his broken past.
  • This book is in Kindle Unlimited.
