Love, which he's avoided, is all that can save him. The last thing Border Patrolman Jake Donovan wanted to find at the end of a long day in a remote stakeout was a beautiful woman who had reported a dead body.

A successful landscape painter, who lived on a remote ranch with her father, she had finally found the man she wanted. So the chase was on as this time, Jake found he was the prey-- not only of the beautiful Rachel but of an old enemy from his past.

Part 1," When Fates Conspire" asks the question is there fairness in life and what happens when we die, as two couples struggle to find their happily ever after while tragedy seems ever ready to put a period to their existence. With humor and pathos, two spirit guides, Remus and Justus try to make life better for these couples, but when fates conspire is that possible? Part 2, "The Dark of the Moon", the story advances a year and a half where Myra Farrell is struggling to hold onto her ranch, the Box Z, against formidable odds until a stranger appears. Will Pace Emerson be her salvation or her damnation? Pace is a man with secrets. Myra's spirit guide, Racine, distrusts him from first sight mostly because he can also see her. Humans aren't supposed to do that. The trilogy is wrapped up in Storm in the Canyon when three powerful women of different generations will be matched with three powerful men, all with their own secrets, their own destinies. The spirit and human world are faced with a third world-one mankind has long tried to suppress. Diablo Canyon has been drawing power to itself through natural events, which are now being used by timeless beings with a desire to retake power. Each of these stories takes the question of what is real one step farther into the unknown. I label them fantasy or paranormal but they are pretty metaphysical in that I have heard from one person or another that pretty much anything I have happen-- can and did. Now do we believe such stories? Well one point to Diablo Canyon is-- just be aware of what is around you-- that little second sight, the times you look back sure someone was there but you see no one. Really, was there something there?
