Within the pages of very rare books, some centuries old, lie the secrets
of the paranormal. Abby Radwell's unusual psychic talent has made her an
expert in such volumes--and sometimes taken her into dangerous
territory. After a deadly incident in the private library of an
obsessive collector, Abby receives a blackmail threat, and rumors swirl
that an old alchemical text known as The Key has reappeared on the
black market. A number of ruthless people are searching for the book.
Some believe that Abby can find it for them.
Abby wants no part of it. But the pressure mounts after a rare-book
dealer dies mysteriously. Convinced that she needs an investigator who
can also play bodyguard, Abby hires Sam Coppersmith, an expert in
paranormal crystals and amber--"hot rocks." Passion flares immediately
between them, yet neither entirely trusts the other. Both are concealing
secrets. Both have their own agendas.
Sam concludes that the only way to keep Abby safe is to take her to
property owned by his rich and reclusive family--a compound in the small
town of Copper Beach, on a private island. But small towns are no safer
than large cities when it comes to dealing with a killer who has
paranormal talents, and a blackmailer who will stop at nothing to obtain
an ancient alchemical code....
