Gift of Fire by Jayne Ann Krentz

Gift of Fire by Jayne Ann Krentz - 344 pages

Verity is determined to make Jonas utilize his education and background to better himself.  So she secures a job for him authenticating an Italian castle and searching for a buried treasure.  She hopes it will start a consulting business for him while getting a vacation for herself while he works.  However, the castle doesn't turn out to be a great vacation spot.  The owners are determined to search for the treasure.  Their guests all claim to be psychic.  And now people are starting to get hurt and killed.
Turns out this is the sequel to Gift of Gold which I have not read yet.  It would probably be a better book with the background from the first book.  Still, it was an enjoyable read.  It is one of Krentz's earlier books which includes a psychic element to it.  (I find it interesting that she started with paranormal romances before going to straight romance novels.  Now she is back to writing paranormal stories again.)  I did find the book slightly dated with references to technology and attitudes between the sexes.
