When she had been ushered into his presence by the near-silent housekeeper that first evening, she had been nearly overwhelmed by a rush of astonishing awareness. The sensation was so acute it had aroused and excited all of her senses, including the very special kind of vision that she kept secret from everyone except the members of her own family. That was when the inspiration for her grand plan of seduction had struck. This was the right man, the right place and the right time…
This is a fascinating insight into Victorian photography – the cameras, the light, the shadows, the auras… Auras? My wordy, yes. Photographer Venetia Milton can see auras! Her family keeps her secret very well, the same as they keep the secret that she – now posing as the widowed Mrs Jones in Victorian ‘Society’ – is not a widow. On the contrary! Six months previously, Venetia visited Arcane House to photograph the mystical artefacts collected by the Arcane Society, a secret organization founded 200 years ago by Gabriel Jones’s alchemist ancestor. Venetia and Gabriel had one evening of blistering passion before they had to run for their lives from two lethal intruders. Gabriel made sure Venetia was safe before turning back into the dark night to protect his legacy. When she received word of his death, she was grief-stricken. Eventually, using Gabriel’s payment from that assignment and his name, she founded her photographic studio. Only now, to Society’s thrilled curiosity, Gabriel has returned from the grave to ‘his wife’s’ side. And stalking them both is the killer still seeking the alchemist’s secret – a formula, said to enhance psychic powers. When he and Venetia are threatened by murder, mild-mannered Gabriel unleashes, with fierce and glorious intent, his own preternatural powers. He becomes a dangerous beast – a hunter, stalking the stalker… Wow! Enjoy Amanda Quick’s trademark wit, breathless suspense, and wonderful, woo-woo romance. |
