Welcome to Maui, Mr. Malone. Enjoy your stay.

All Luther Malone has to do is keep Grace Renquist alive.
How hard could that be?

Jones & Jones has hired Grace to identify a rogue sensitive working for Nightshade, the Arcane Society's nemesis.
She'll know him by his aura.
It's why she was hired.

Shouldn't be hard to spot one guy with a wicked aura ...
Unless you've walked right into a bloody Nightshade convention.
And they're more dangerous than you expected.

Now Grace and Luther are trapped in paradise with some of the most dangerous people on Earth.
With only each other to trust, passion and danger are ...

Running Hot: An Arcane Society Novel
by Jayne Ann Krentz

Series: Arcane Society Novels
Mass Market Paperback: 480 pages
Publisher: Jove; Reprint edition (December 29, 2009)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0515147389

A heroine who can see dark energy flashes in a villain's aura and a hero who can squelch villainous thoughts before they're put into action go to paradise to find a murderer, but find love, sex and a nest of drug-enhanced evildoers instead in Krentz's latest Arcane Society novel. Librarian Grace Renquist and ex-cop-turned-bartender Luther Malone, both members of the centuries-old Arcane Society, join forces when the psychic investigative agency Jones & Jones hires Grace, with Luther as her bodyguard, to find a killer in Hawaii. Luther quickly realizes Grace is not your normal paranormal, but their hot romance is put (briefly) on hold as they learn that Nightshade, drug-fueled supernatural baddies, are after the same murderer - as is the lethal psychic hunter La Sirene, an opera diva with a killer voice. The plot is fast, steamy and wildly entertaining even if it defies credulity.

From barnesandnoble.com:

Luther Malone should have known that even an "easy" assignment from Fallon Jones would have a few unexpected twists. Not only did Jones expect him to work with a complete novice with no field experience, but also Malone's new "partner," Grace Renquist, is a librarian! It's true, she works in the Bureau of Genealogy at the Arcane Society, but Grace knows her talents at aura-reading are every bit as good as Malone's paranormal gift, and she is determined to prove her professional worth while on assignment with this ex-cop with a limp, a fear of guns, and attitude. Of course, the one thing Jones fails to tell either Malone or Grace is that while they conduct a secret investigation in Maui to search for a possible murderer, they are going to have to pretend to be married. Combining a superbly matched pair of protagonists, wonderfully original secondary characters (including a deliciously self-absorbed diva villainess with a "killer" voice), and a cleverly constructed plot, best-selling Krentz works her usual literary alchemy and creates another irresistible, paranormal-flavored novel of sexy romantic suspense to add to her much-loved Arcane Society series.
