Connection — R.L. Merrill

From the author of Healer comes Connection, a tale of supernatural suspense in which one man's search for redemption pits him against a cunning religious leader and his community who are preparing for a violent end of the world.Retired Army Captain Jackson Howe views his ability to connect with others as invasive and inconvenient, but he deals with it by only using his power to help others.

Jackson will call on his training—and special skills—to save her from an enemy determined to spread evil and hurt those Jackson holds dear.Follow the continuing saga of Havenhart Academy in Book Two of the Gifted Series.18+ for violence and language.
