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, sheโs got zero field experience. Sheโs from tiny Eclipse Bay, Oregon. Sheโs a librarian, for heavenโs sake.
As for Grace, sheโs not expecting much either from Malone, who walks with a cane and isnโt so good with a gun. Nice rรฉsumรฉ for a bodyguard . . .
But even before they reach their hotel in Mauiโwhere theyโll be posing as honeymoonersโGrace and Luther feel the electric charge between them. Problem is, they need to remain vigilant day and night, because it soon becomes clear thereโs more going on here. Rogue sensitivesโoperatives for the underground group Nightshadeโare pouring into the luxury resort like thereโs a convention. Grace recognizes those dark spikes in their auras. She saw the same pattern in someone else in another lifeโa life she hasnโt 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 pairโs employers at Jones & Jones scramble to get them backup, Luther and Grace have to think on their feet. The criminals in their midst arenโt just high-level sensitives: Theyโve enhanced their talents with a potentโand unpredictableโ drug. And as Grace knows all too well, if you donโt control your powers, your powers will control you. . . .
