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, she’s got zero
field experience. She’s from tiny Eclipse Bay, Oregon. She’s
a librarian, for heaven’s sake.
As for Grace,
she’s not expecting much either from Malone, who walks with
a cane and isn’t so good with a gun. Nice résumé for a
bodyguard . . .
But even before they reach their
hotel in Maui—where they’ll be posing as honeymooners—Grace
and Luther feel the electric charge between them. Problem
is, they need to remain vigilant day and night, because it
soon becomes clear there’s more going on here. Rogue
sensitives—operatives for the underground group
Nightshade—are pouring into the luxury resort like there’s a
convention. Grace recognizes those dark spikes in their
auras. She saw the same pattern in someone else in another
life—a life she hasn’t 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 pair’s employers at Jones & Jones scramble to
get them backup, Luther and Grace have to think on their
feet. The criminals in their midst aren’t just high-level
sensitives: They’ve enhanced their talents with a potent—and
unpredictable— drug. And as Grace knows all too well, if you
don’t control your powers, your powers will control you. . . .
