Fired Up - Jayne Ann Krentz

The New York Times bestselling author presents the story of a curse that spans generations, and the love that
can heal it. . . .

More than three centuries ago, Nicholas
Winters irrevocably altered his
genetic makeup in an obsessionfueled
competition with alchemist and
Arcane Society founder Sylvester Jones.
Driven to control their psychic
abilities, each man's decision has
reverberated throughout the family
line, rewarding some with powers
beyond their wildest dreams, and
cursing others to a life filled with
madness and hallucinations.

Jack Winters, descendant of
Nicholas, has been experiencing nightmares
and blackouts--just the
beginning, he believes, of the manifestation of
the Winters family curse.
The legend says that he must find the
Burning Lamp or risk turning into
a monster. But he can't do it alone;
he needs the help of a woman with
the gift to read the lamp's
dreamlight.

Jack is convinced that
private investigator Chloe Harper is that woman.
Her talents for finding
objects and accessing dream energy are what
will save him, but their
sudden and powerful sexual pull threatens to
overwhelm them both. Danger
surrounds them, and it doesn't take long
for Chloe to pick up the trail
of the missing lamp. And as they draw
closer to the lamp, the raw power
that dwells within it threatens to
sweep them into a hurricane of
psychic force.
