Absence of Presence: Cal Chapman series

By Tammy Teigland

Orion operative Karl Hendricks sets out to capture Trent Larkin for critical intelligence-but inadvertently rescues a woman whose very existence could unravel secrets powerful forces would kill to protect. Her rescue sparks a global chase, as shadowy players move to silence her before hidden truths come to light. Safe under Orion's protection, her presence ignites long-buried mysteries waiting to resurface.

Meanwhile, Katie McGuire finds herself in a perilous situation when rogue agent Paul Richter catches her prying where she shouldn't. Her discovery of ancient artifacts-including a mysterious portal gate-sets in motion a chain of events that places it into the hands of J.C. Smith's adversary, Patricia Orsini. Past loyalties fracture, alliances blur, and the gate becomes the key to a dangerous game of power, deception, and secrets that refuse to stay buried.
