Synopsis

Alice North is on the run. The mysterious death of her husband is casting a shadow of doubt on her innocence and even with her ability to make herself disappear - literally - Alice is finding it hard to avoid detection. Therefore, it comes as a relief when a stranger shows up at her door, offering money and protection - for a price.

Drake Sebastian is on the hunt for two dangerous paranormal crystals, located on the mysterious and magical Rainshadow Island. Alice seems to hold the key to his success and a marriage will protect her from a murder accusation. A fair deal, right? It's merely convenience, after all . . .

But as passions start to flare, so do old demons. While both Alice and Drake must work together to find the missing crystals, they must also face the consequences of the lives they led before Rainshadow . . . or face certain destruction.

From Booklist

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
