Book Description:
*Starred Review* Writing as Castle, the best-selling Jayne Ann Krentz creates another bewitching story set in the world of Harmony, a future planet of psychics and ghost hunters. If Elly St. Clair knew she was going to need Cooper Boone's help, she might have been nicer when she broke up with him. Instead, furious that Cooper had not only been involved in a duel over her but for all the wrong reasons, Elly gave Cooper back his ring, told him in no uncertain terms they were through, and left Aurora Springs for Cadence City. Then, when her good friend and neighbor Bertha Newell mysteriously disappears in the catacombs, Elly reluctantly admits that she needs the services of a hunter like Cooper. Fortunately, Cooper just happens to be in town, and he offers to help find Bertha. What Elly doesn't know is that Cooper never considered their engagement to be officially terminated. Castle's new futuristic romance brilliantly blends exceptionally entertaining characters, witty prose, and a thrilling paranormal-tinged plot in a sublime novel of romantic suspense.

Jayne Castle is just one of this author's names AKA Jayne Anne Krentz, Amanda Quick and Stephanie... something.
A wonderful prolific writer who categorizes the type of novel by the name she writes under.
Jayne Castle writes more supernatural books, as this "FLOWER" series of 3 books, about women who can project a crazy strong prism that their dream man can use to focus his off the chart talent through.
"The Jaynes" all write stories about strong women, and not just as the main character, which is why I own all of Castle's Books, a lot of Krentz's and all of Quick's ( I think the Stephanies were Harlequin Romances).
If you want supernatural women stories, Orchid, Amaryllis and Zinnia are a 3 story must reads.
Jayne Castle's newest books are about the planet called Harmony which is similar, but different than the 3 Flowers. I've always liked tham and gave them 5 stars!

This one is a keeper for me. I re-read it periodically. I love this world where certain paranormal abilities are normal but it take two complementary abilities to work well, which draws people that seem like opposites together. Romantic suspense with a paranormal twist.

She's a female psychic detective on St. Helen's, the earth colony recently cut off from the mother planet. He's the rugged head of Lodestar Exploration. When a bold hunch leads them from a wild murder investigation to a red-hot love affair, she is shocked, he is delighted--and no power on heaven, earth or St. Helen's can keep them apart.

Amaryllis Lark is undeniably beautiful. She's also one of the best psychic detectives on St. Helen's, the earth colony recently cut off from the mother planet, yet not so very different from home - a place where love still defies the most incredible odds. Lucas Trent, the rugged head of Lodestar Exploration, isn't keen on the prim and proper type - and, from her neatly buttoned business suit to her cool evaluation of his request to bust a corporate thief, Amaryllis is excruciatingly proper.

Amaryllis may have psychic powers, but she can't read minds - least of all her own. When a bold hunch leads them from a wild murder investigation to a red-hot love affair, Amaryllis is shocked, Lucas is delighted - and no power on heaven, earth, or St. Helen's can keep them apart!
