White Lies: Relationships are challenging enough for most single
over-thirty women. For level ten parasensitive Clare Lancaster, they're
a minefield. The elite few who know her secret call her a human lie
detector, and any falsehood, no matter how subtle or well hidden, sets
her blood racing. Clare has resigned herself to the fact that everyone,
to one degree or another, hides behind a façade. Including her recently
deceased brother-in-law. When Clare finds the body of Brad McAllister,
the golden child of Stone Canyon, Arizona, the posh residents turn a
suspicious eye in her direction. As Archer Glazebrook's daughter, Clare
is shielded from the law, but not the gossip. After meeting Jake Salter,
Archer's "business consultant," she is convinced that things aren't what
they seem. Something sparks and sizzles between them - something more
than the usual electricity between a man and a woman. Caught in a
dizzying storm of secrets, lies, and half-truths, Jake and Clare will
plunge into an investigation that demands every bit of their special
gifts. Fired Up: More than three centuries ago, Nicholas Winters
irrevocably altered his genetic makeup in an obsession-fueled
competition with alchemist and Arcane Society founder Sylvester Jones.
Jack Winters, descendant of Nicholas, has been experiencing nightmares
and blackouts--just the beginning, he believes, of the manifestation of
the Winters family curse. The legend says that he must find the Burning
Lamp or risk turning into a monster. But he can't do it alone; he needs
the help of a woman with the talent to read the lamp's dreamlight. Jack
is convinced that private investigator Chloe Harper is that woman.
