Now as Jayne Castle, she brings us Amaryllis Lark: a beautiful psychic detective on St. Helen's, an Earth colony recently cut off from the mother planet. Lucas Trent, the rugged head of Lodestar Exploration, isn't keen on the prim and proper type - - and Amaryllis is excruciatingly proper.

But can extraterrestrial evil keep them apart?
