Beneath the Broom Tree

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. 

While there 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 mysterious secrets and explore its beauty, finding solace in shared adventures and conversation. But as Ione begins to heal, Callen retreats further into his painful past, drifting ever away from her. Only when crisis strikes—one demanding Callen's unique skills—does he begin to understand God's plans for him, for Ione, and for this island both of them have grown to love.

Beneath the Broom Tree is a contemporary Christian romance where faith, healing, and second chances converge on a mysterious island at the bottom of the world.
