This time around she has created the Arcane Society, a organization founded by an alchemist, which consists of dabblers of psychic phenomena. Our heroine Venetia, is a photographer who is invited by the Arcane Society to photograph their collection of artifacts. This is how she meets the mysterious Mr. Gabriel Jones.
After an exciting night with Mr. Jones - she later reads a small notice of his death. She needs a new name for her career and she chooses Jones as a tribute and because it is common. As Mrs. Jones, she starts making a name for herself in the photography world and starts making enough money to support her extended family. Imagine her surprise when her so called "husband" comes back from the "grave".
