New York Times bestselling author JAYNE CASTLE 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!

I love all the slightly disguised coffee subs in sci-fi... kaff is common, klah in Pern (did Pern start this whole thing? How did this become sci-fi worldbuilding 101?) Coff-tea doesn't sound too appealing though lol

I dunno I'd bet people would just keep on calling it coffee. Except that one historian who'd be all "actually our coffee bears little resemblance to Ancient Earthan coffee, as the beans were modified to grow on Gamma Bucephalus X--"

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Yes! No matter what sci-fi or dystopian future, humans will still be firmly addicted to their caffeine and magically it will still be available in all universes.... we can‘t even imagine one without it. 😂 6y
llwheeler @Riveted_Reader_Melissa 😂 so true 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @llwheeler The addiction level is strong with that one! 6y
jmtrivera @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @llwheeler That makes me think about how one of the things I've always liked about Star Trek is that it takes place hundreds of years in the future, we've got all sorts of alien delicacies, and food replicators that can make anything, and the characters are like, yeah, but I need my coffee/tea/hot chocolate. ☕☕☕ 6y
llwheeler @jmtrivera Haha true! 6y
