In this ""fun-filled and sensational tale by the incomparable Jayne Ann Krentz"" (RT Book Reviews), a hard-edged businessman and a beautiful art expert make a tantalizing connection at a new age resort--but a killer threatens their piece of paradise. Alexa Chambers has a flair for style, an eye for art, and a career in tatters after blowing the whistle on an employer who was selling fakes to wealthy clients. Now she runs a shop in her Arizona hometown, but she's determined to rebuild her livelihood even if it means taking risks. She begins secretly consulting on an exquisite art collection being installed at the new Avalon Resorts. Her scheme might just work--if she can steer clear of the resort's owner, the enigmatic and possibly dangerous J. L. Trask.

Alexa was a scared teenager the last time she saw Trask, the man who accused her stepfather of murder. Insisting his dad's fatal car crash had been no accident, Trask vowed one day he'd come back to Avalon for revenge. Now, twelve years later, their meeting is inevitable, and their attraction is immediate.

Trask wants to piece together the past with Alexa's help and get closer to this dazzling deco diva. Alexa wants to protect her family and figure out Trask's real motivations. But when a killer emerges from the shadows, they have no choice but to team up to solve a deadly crime from long ago. As they trade sizzling sparks and snappy repartee, their trail leads to a trendy spa called the Dimensions Institute, whose flaky denizens and strange atmosphere suggest there is more hidden there than meets the eye. They don't need a crystal ball to see that their survival--and relationship--depends on more than tantric exercises. They need a little help from a higher power: a true and trustworthy love.
