I've read some of Amanda Quick's Arcane Society novels set in a future on Planet Harmony, but this one is set in the Elizabethan past on Earth. Obviously I have more reading and backtracking to do before I catch up with all that has gone before.
That said, the novel stands on its own just fine. It's a quick and lively read. I recommend it.

Blurb from inside cover: Attempting to recover a relic stolen from her family years ago, gifted crystal worker Leona Hewitt secretly makes her way into Lord Delbridge's private museum. But the man she finds there is more entrancing than the crystal she seeks...
Thaddeus Ware is a mesmerist with powerful psychic energy--an energy that doesn't seem to be affecting the woman before him. Instead, Leona seems to exert a rather hypnotic power of the hypnotist himself. After she gives him the slip, absconding with the crystal they recovered, Thaddeus fears for her safety. For he is on assignment for the secretive Arcane Society and knows that the crystal holds the potential to cause great destruction. It is the key to Lord Delbridge's membership in a shadowy group known as the Third Circle. The nobleman has killed before to acquire the crystal, and Thaddeus has no doubt that he will kill again.
