Publisher's summary

New York Times bestselling author Amanda Quick invites you to experience a thrilling adventure filled with the lure of ancient secrets and the simmering passions of the Victorian age in the first Arcane Society novel.

Venetia Milton's memories of a romantic night with Gabriel Jones—an alchemist's descendant—are shattered soon thereafter by news of his death. Adopting the guise of his respectable widow, she embarks on a new career as a fashionable photographer in London, where her unique ability to "see" beyond her subjects makes her photographs highly prized.

But Venetia's romantic whim causes unexpected trouble. For one thing, Mr. Jones is about to stride, living and breathing, back into her life. And someone he is tracking will go to any lengths, even murder, to possess an ancient, extraordinary secret that has been lost for centuries. Someone who believes that as the "wife" of Mr. Jones, Venetia is the key . . .

Good hybrid of Romance & paranormal mystery

A sensual romance turns to murder mystery with bits of the paranormal. Characters are so likable and real that it all works together nicely.

I love these books by Amanda Quick, (Jayne Ann Ann Krentz) they are always entertaining. I look forward to all the books she writes under all her names. I’m waiting for a new Jayne Castle.

Psychic gifts

This is a story
about people with psychic gifts, believe in them or not. I found it interesting since I encountered a woman in a doctor's waiting room who saw me enter to deliver supplies. She said she could read my aura and that I was a nice person. I was in a rotten mood at the time. go figure.
