Bücher der Reihe Terkel's Team

Stubborn was something Rick had been called a lot. Independent. A loner. All true but, once a powerful healer connects to bring him back from the brink of death, Rick is in danger of losing that control and that privacy he so values.Cara understands Rick's need to be alone, but it's not possible any longer, and that isn't something she's ready to tell him. That and the value of the connection they now share is something he has to find out for himself.And the sooner, the better, as the attacks on the team continue, their temporary headquarters under surveillance, and their much-vaunted skills nowhere in sight ...

Everyone has the right to make a mistake, ... but the one Naira made isn't one Scott can forgive. He wakes from a coma, sure that the ex-love of his life had been at his side, but finds no sign of her. When he does see her, he can't get past a long-ago decision she'd made that tore them apart.Naira had hoped that Scott would protest her decision way back when, but he didn't say anything to stop her. Heartbroken, she went ahead with the business marriage to appease her father, which ends in divorce. When Terk called, she came running to Scott's bedside, even knowing he'd hate to see her when he woke up. But she has always loved him and can only hope he might find his way back to her.But finding his way back to the team is on his mind, with Naira second. Except that the operatives who took down his team initially are coming around and trying to pick off everyone left alive-and all the people they hold dear, ... like Naira.

In advance of another major attack, Terk races to Levi's compound in Texas, where Terk finally gets to meet Celia, the woman carrying his child. Thankfully he arrives in time to protect his friends and new family from another attack, but he's determined to get to the end of this nightmare that tried to earlier destroy his team.Finally meeting this stranger-whose child Celia may be carrying-how could she not be suspicious? But after meeting Terk, she believes he had nothing to do with her pregnancy. Only after some deep conversations, as they peel layer from layer, do possible answers surface.When the pieces finally come together into the most probably theory, Terk realizes how simple this whole mess really is. But solving it? ... That's a whole different story.

The move to a castle is both daunting and exhilarating. Damn sure he has bitten of more than he can handle, Terk asks Charles for help. In turn, Charles brings in an old friend to get the team installed and to get the castle renovated and organized. Going into private business never looked so good or so hard. But, with Levi and Ice joining in the fun, even Bullard helping out, the renovations are in Emmaline's capable hands, and all is well.Or is it? When Jonas calls to say there's a problem, and it's heading their way, Terk knows the priority is safety and security. But what does that look like with a large group of energy workers? There's also another side effect of so much energy all in one place-something no one thought about-and something that's way too late to stop ...

The journey back to consciousness hadn't been fast or easy but, once awake, with weird images and voices in his head, Brody is all about getting back to the team and into the action. His senses are dulled, but, even then, he's strong enough to know he has to leave the building where he's been recuperating from the initial team accident. Not knowing any of the details doesn't help, but it does mean trust is now the issue.Clary came on board to help when Brody was lost on the ethers-and to help her sister, Cara, who had taken on more than she could handle with Rick's care. And even though Clary had been forewarned as to how this type of connection could work, Clary didn't expect it to work with her and her patient, Brody.Having a healing pathway was one thing; ... having a connection where you could hear thoughts, feel the same emotions, was quite another. And seeing how Brody fights to surmount the attacks on the team he loves so well only shows her how much more is possible-but not the event where she must test out her theory, ... unless it's to protect those she cares about.
