Second Sight (2006)
(Writing as
Amanda Quick)
There is nothing like
having a dead husband return from the grave to ruin a fine spring
morning….
In financial straits and on a sure path to spinsterhood, Venetia Milton is
a Victorian-era photographer who possesses the uncanny ability to see
other peoples’ auras. When she is hired to photograph the strange
artifacts in the private collection of the Arcane Society she seizes on a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to engineer her own ravishment.
Her new employer -- Gabriel Jones – is just as mysterious as the relics in
the Society’s museum. Not only does he have the eyes of a sorcerer, he is
endowed with some unique psychic talents.
After a night to remember Venetia is prepared to cherish the memories of
her romantic encounter and move on, but she is shattered when, shortly
after their night together, she reads of Jones’s death in the paper. As a
private tribute to her one-time lover, she adopts the name “Mrs. Jones”
and the guise of a respectable widow, and embarks on a new career as a
fashionable photographer in London.
But her romantic whim lands her in a world of trouble. For one thing, Mr.
Jones is about to stride, living and breathing, back into her life,
threatening to ruin the carefully constructed illusion of respectability
that is all that stands between her and financial disaster.
What does one do with an inconvenient husband? Venetia consigns hers to
the attic. Keeping him there, however, is a problem.
Matters deteriorate further when Venetia witnesses a murder and sees the
killer’s aura. It soon becomes apparent that she is the only one who can
identify the truly scary individual who is after the Arcane Society’s most
closely held secret.
Mr. And Mrs. Jones have no alternative but to join forces in a perilous
quest to track down a ruthless opponent.
White Lies (2007) (Writing
as Jayne Ann Krentz)
Think you can’t get a decent
date? Imagine how depressing things are when you know for sure that the
guy is lying when he says he’ll call…
Clare Lancaster is a Level Ten para-sensitive – and a “human lie
detector”. She is also a member of the modern day Arcane Society. Over the
years she has come to accept that someone with her extraordinary talent is
doomed to have relationship issues.
Clare has even been rejected as “unmatchable” by the Society’s matchmaking
agency, arcanematch.com
In a way, Clare’s whole life has been a lie. Now, however, she has just
met the half sister and family whom she never knew until seven months ago.
Her father summons her from California to play a role in his business
empire. Clare rejects the offer. But after meeting Jake Salter, Archer
Lancaster’s “financial consultant”, she is convinced that things aren’t
what they seem. Salter’s careful conversation seems to walk a delicate
line between truth and deception. Something sparks and sizzles between
them – something more than the usual electricity between a man and a
woman.
Jake Salter is also a Level Ten para-sensitive with some dangerous psychic
talents of his own. He, too, has been declared “unmatchable” by the
Society’s matchmakers.
Each knows that the other is keeping secrets.
Caught in a dizzying storm of lies and half-truths, Jake and Clare plunge
into an investigation that demands every bit of their special gifts.
Together they must overcome their mutual distrust in order to unravel a
web of conspiracy and murder with tentacles that go deep into the very
heart of the Arcane Society.

from near-certain imprisonment. Now - reunited by a surprising inheritance

The River Knows (2007)
The first kiss occurred in a dimly lit
hallway on the upper floor of Elwin Hastings's grand house. Louisa never
saw it coming....
Of course, Anthony Stalbridge couldn't possibly have had romantic
intentions. The kiss was an act of desperation meant to distract the armed
guard from catching the pair in a place they did not belong. After all,
Louisa Bryce, in her dull maroon gown and gold-rimmed spectacles, was no
man's idea of an alluring female. The only thing the two interlopers have
in common is a passionate interest in the private affairs of Mr.
Hastings—a prominent member of Society whom they both suspect of hiding
terrible secrets. Now, brought together by their ruse, Anthony and Louisa
are united in their efforts to find the truth.
Each has a reason for the quest. Anthony's fiancée was said to have thrown
herself into the Thames—but Anthony has his own suspicions. Louisa—whose
own identity is shrouded in layers of mystery—is convinced that Hastings
has a connection to a notorious brothel. When Anthony successfully cracks
Hastings's hidden safe—and discovers incriminating evidence—it appears
that both their instincts were correct.
Yet Hastings is hiding far more than jewels and ledger books. Bringing him
to justice will be more perilous than they anticipate—and their
partnership will be more heated than either one expects. For it is not
only Anthony's curiosity that Louisa arouses, and the two share something
else: a thrilling attraction to danger. . . .
