The Light
(2025)(The fifth book in the Return to Tanner Creek Ranch series)
A Story by Everlee Whitman
Caroline felt her heart skip a few beats for a moment as she realized that the statement from this man didn’t scare her one bit.
Nathaniel Redding has spent his life caring for the broken. As a wildlife rehabilitator, he’s learned to read fear, to move with quiet patience, and to earn trust in the slowest of ways. But nothing has challenged him quite like Caroline Vance, the newest addition to Tanner Creek Sanctuary. She’s the picture of serenity as she guides the ranch’s riding therapy program—calm, competent, and quietly kind. Yet Nathaniel sees the edges she hides beneath the surface. She avoids vulnerability with the same precision she uses to soothe skittish horses, and no matter how deeply she serves others, she refuses to be known herself.
Caroline didn’t come to Tanner Creek by accident. The rolling hills and steady rhythms of ranch life are the escape she’s longed for—a safe place to outrun the shadows of a past she won’t name. She’s rebuilt her life with careful restraint, but Nathaniel Redding makes that control harder to keep. He sees her. He listens. And worst of all, he waits—with the kind of steadfast grace that makes her wonder if God hasn’t forgotten her after all.
As secrets unravel and buried wounds resurface, Nathaniel and Caroline must choose: stay safe in what they’ve always known, or take a chance on the kind of light that heals in layers—and lingers for a lifetime.
Return to Tanner Creek Ranch, a place of second chances and unwavering faith, nestled in the heart of Northern Michigan.
This series is based on Philippians 4:1 (NIV) — "Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends."
