Annotation:
A killer stalks two psychics posing as husband and wife in this suspenseful paranormal romance set in the Victorian era. Lonely spinster photographer Venetia Milton decides to seduce her employer, Gabriel Jones, who has hired her to take pictures of the objects belonging to a mysterious group founded by his alchemist ancestor. Not long after she completes both jobs, Venetia grieves to learn of Gabriel's death. She also sees it as an opportunity; pretending to be Gabriel's widow allows "Mrs. Jones" to open a gallery, something no respectable single woman could do. Her new role becomes more complicated when she discovers that Gabriel remains among the living.

| Author Bio| Amanda Quick | | Jayne Ann Krentz, who writes under numerous pseudonyms, received a B.A. in history from the University of California at Santa Cruz, and a master's in library science from San Jose State University. She worked for years as a librarian at Duke University and at other libraries. Krentz writes many different kinds of romances under her various bylines, but themes such as loyalty and trust are present throughout her work, from her historical romances to her more contemporary romantic suspense novels. In an attempt to help others through her own success, she established the Castle Humanities Fund at her alma matter, UCSC, which enables the library to purchase books it would otherwise be unable to acquire. Krentz has also contributed to elementary schools in Seattle, hoping to provide as many children as possible with the books they need to learn. |
