The Arcane Society, Book 5

Plot

SETTING: Maui, 21st Century 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, shes got zero field experience. Shes from tiny Eclipse Bay, Oregon. She's a librarian, for heavens sake. As for Grace, shes not expecting much either from Malone, who walks with a cane and isnt so good with a gun. Nice résumé for a bodyguard... But even before they reach their hotel in Maui-where theyll 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 theres more going on here. Rogue sensitives-operatives for the underground group Nightshade-are pouring into the luxury resort like theres a convention. Grace recognizes those dark spikes in their auras. She saw the same pattern in someone else in another life-a life she hasnt 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 pairs employers at Jones & Jones scramble to get them backup, Luther and Grace have to think on their feet. The criminals in their midst arent just high-level sensitives: Theyve enhanced their talents with a potent-and unpredictable-drug. And as Grace knows all too well, if you dont control your powers, your powers will control you...
