Publisher Comments:

The New York Times-bestselling author of Sizzle and Burn has a brand-new Arcane Society novel.

Ex-cop Luther Malone, lifelong member of the secretive paranormal organization known as the Arcane Society, is waiting to meet Grace Renquist. Hired as an aura-reading consultant in the quest for a murder suspect, sheas got zero field experience. Sheas from tiny Eclipse Bay, Oregon. Sheas a librarian, for heavenas sake.

As for Grace, sheas not expecting much either from Malone, who walks with a cane and isnat so good with a gun. Nice rA(c)sumA(c) for a bodyguard . . .

But even before they reach their hotel in Mauiawhere theyall be posing as honeymoonersaGrace and Luther feel the electric charge between them. Problem is, they need to remain vigilant day and night, because it soon becomes clear thereas more going on here. Rogue sensitivesaoperatives for the underground group Nightshadeaare pouring into the luxury resort like thereas a convention. Grace recognizes those dark spikes in their auras. She saw the same pattern in someone else in another lifeaa life she hasnat revealed to Luther or anyone else. And she understands how dangerous these people can be . . . especially with those para-hunters at their sides.

While the pairas employers at Jones & Jones scramble to get them backup, Luther and Grace have to think on their feet. The criminals in their midst arenat just high-level sensitives: Theyave enhanced their talents with a potentaand unpredictablea drug. And as Grace knows all too well, if you donat control your powers, your powers will control you. . . .

Review:

"A heroine who can see dark energy flashes in a villain's aura and a hero who can squelch villainous thoughts before they're put into action go to paradise to find a murderer, but find love, sex and a nest of drug-enhanced evildoers instead in Krentz's latest Arcane Society novel. Librarian Grace Renquist and ex-cop-turned-bartender Luther Malone, both members of the centuries-old Arcane Society, join forces when the psychic investigative agency Jones & Jones hires Grace, with Luther as her bodyguard, to find a killer in Hawaii. Luther quickly realizes Grace is not your normal paranormal, but their hot romance is put (briefly) on hold as they learn that Nightshade, drug-fueled supernatural baddies, are after the same murderer — as is the lethal psychic hunter La Sirne, an opera diva with a killer voice. The plot is fast, steamy and wildly entertaining even if it defies credulity. Krentz's fans will enjoy this outing and appreciate the teaser that readers have not seen the last of this power couple."
