Beschreibung

In the mid 1950s, Liverpool demands more water for its industries. The Tryweryn valley near Bala in North Wales is chosen for a new reservoir. But a community will be drowned in the process and residents lose their homes and livelihoods. Debates in Parliament and protest marches achieve nothing. Can direct action be taken? Smallholder Rhydian Williams is persuaded that it can and devises a plot to stop the reservoir dam being built. DI Terry Richards of Special Branch is sent from Cardiff to find out what is going on and to take action as needed. With the help of local police officers Sergeant Eddie Jenkins and WPC Rhian Davies, he intervenes but with fatal consequences for those involved.

    It’s dangerous work, but the Goldilock Raiders have finished every contract we’ve taken on. 
    We secure our credits by obliterating problematic space junk so the suits and ties at the Corporate Alliance can terraform new worlds. 
    Pretty simple, right? 
    Except our latest gig kinda screws up the home of a new alien species, and I ain’t so sure if creds are worth genocide.

    I made a deal with my brother a long time ago to never date his teammates. 
    Technically, Rowan Landry, the hot as hell center for the Chicago Falcons, is no longer my brother’s teammate. Or his best friend. Their college days are long behind them, and they barely talk now. 
    Also, I’m not dating him—we’re just sleeping together. There’s a difference. 
    Except there’s not a lot of sleeping going on, and neither one of us wants to stop what we’re doing. 
    It’s all fun and games until my brother is traded to the Falcons, because Rowan doesn’t know I’m the new goalie’s little sister. Oops.

    The town is quiet now—too quiet. Wind moves through the bones of buildings like a whisper that’s forgotten how to speak. He lives among the remnants: a man made of routine and silence, tending to the empty rituals of a life that ended long ago. 
    Then come the two—chained, bruised, and strangely unbroken. He doesn’t want to know their names. But names have a way of rooting themselves, just like memories, just like guilt. One watches him with eyes like smoke. The other dares him to remember he still has blood in his veins. 
    As distant thunder builds and old orders decay, the ground underfoot begins to tremble—not from war, but from something older and more dangerous: choice. In a place where forgetting is easier than feeling, can anything still be salvaged? 
    Not a love story. Not a war story. A story about the space between the two—where something fragile might still begin.

    A desire that won't be denied. 
     
     
     
    Ferne Crawford is a Seer with unique abilities that set her apart from other Druids. She once ignored her magic with tragic results. So, when she's bombarded with visions of a great evil that call her to a place she's been warned never to go, she's powerless to resist. Her life takes a drastic turn the moment she arrives on Skye and encounters a handsome, valiant stranger. Theo makes her ache for his touch. Their meeting stirs an explosive passion, awakening a yearning that only he can satisfy. However, there's more than the malice which brought her to the isle that intends her harm. 
     
     
     
    Detective Inspector Theo Frasier carries the weight of the isle and his people on his shoulders. With more Druid murders and no leads on who's controlling the killing mist, he's beginning to feel the strain. The last thing he needs is anything—or anyone—distracting him. But once he meets Ferne, he can't get her out of his head. Or his heart. She fills his every thought, day and night. His need for her consumes him, pushing everything else aside. But will his love be enough to save them from the growing threat?
