Capturing the 'lively sensuality' (Library Journal) of the passion-filled, near-future space colony of St. Helen's, the wildly popular alter ego of bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz delivers 'delectably entertaining paranormal romantic suspense' (Booklist).



Ever since a false tabloid story ruined her reputation and her interior design business, Zinnia Spring has been labeled the 'Scarlet Lady' of St. Helen's. Now, headstrong Zinnia makes a living using her psychic abilities—a highly prized skill that attracts the attention of another planetary outcast, Nick Chastain. The rough-edged casino owner craves what he doesn't have—respectability—and he enlists Zinnia to help find his father’s journal and dig up answers to his own mysterious past. Zinnia doesn't have to be psychic to know what else Nick wants; soon they're reaching the electrifying heights of ecstasy—and danger. For when a ruthless killer crosses their search, it will take everything in their power to keep their feet on terra firma and survive a deadly trap.
