Deception Cove (A Rainshadow Novel)
In order for a business partnership to truly work, both parties must believe they are getting something of equal value. Alice North is almost certain her deal with Drake Sebastian is going to be a success. Drake needs Alice’s help in tracking down a long-lost treasure buried on Rainshadow Island. Two of the Old World crystals from the treasure are missing and wreaking paranormal havoc. In exchange, Drake will help Alice find out who murdered her ex-husband, Fulton Whitcomb. Ethel, Alice’s ex-mother-in-law, wrongfully believes Alice killed her son, and unless Alice produces the real murderer, Ethel will continue to make her life miserable.  Working together with Drake under the guise of a marriage of convenience makes perfect sense to Alice until she begins wondering what it would be like to “really” be married to Drake. In her usual spot-on fashion, Jayne Ann Krentz, writing as Castle, serves up another riveting installment in her futuristic Harmony series, and the resulting fast-paced, witty, sexy romance is guaranteed to keep readers enthralled with its danger-spiked plot and compelling characters. --John Charles
