Books like Copper Beach by Jayne Ann Krentz

Abby Radwell’s keen psychic gifts make her a specialist in centuries‑old rare books, but her expertise draws her into peril when a fatal incident occurs in the private library of an obsessive collector. A blackmail threat follows, and whispers spread that an ancient alchemical manuscript, "The Key", has resurfaced on the black market. Seeking both protection and investigative skill, Abby contracts Sam Coppersmith, a seasoned paranormal researcher known for his knowledge of crystals and amber. Their partnership sparks immediate attraction, yet mutual mistrust shadows their collaboration. Together they confront a killer wielding paranormal abilities and a relentless blackmailer who will stop at nothing to secure the coveted alchemical code. No one is safe as the stakes rise and mystical forces converge on this high‑stakes hunt for knowledge and survival.
