EX LIBRARY large print hardcover with the usual library markings. Good shape with some "wrinkling" of the plastic coating that protects the artwork of the front cover, some age related tanning of the pages and minimal wear of the pages. This book is part of "The Arcane Society" series, specifically, the sub-series "Ghost Hunters" #9 and the sub-sub series, "Rainshadow" #1. Jayne Ann Krentz writes as "Jayne Castle" when writing Arcane Society books set in the future, and as "Amanda Quick" when writing books set in the past. The collection of books written in the future is also known as "Harmony World". Even the mysterious world of Harmony has people who don?t quite fit in. They?re drawn to places like Rainshadow Island, a beautiful sanctuary where anyone can feel safe?and where secrets are closely guarded... Schooled in an exotic form of martial arts, and with the ability to detect the auras of dangerous psychic criminals, Rachel Bonner and her dust bunny companion have found peace and quiet on Rainshadow Island, operating a bookstore and cafe. But her tranquil new life is thrown into chaos when Harry Sebastian, the descendant of a notorious pirate, arrives to investigate strange developments in the privately owned woods known as the Preserve. Immediately drawn to the amber-eyed woman, Harry must tread carefully. While Rachel?s special talents can help him track down dangerous rogues who have violated the Preserve, they can also sense the heart of darkness within him. But desire can weaken the strongest of defenses?and leave even the strongest man wanting more?
