When leather-clad Marlowe Jones and her partner, Gibson the dust bunny, ride up on her motorcycle for a surreptitious meeting, Adam Winters knows enough to be on his guard. Their families have a centuries-old feud. Although he is willing to let bygones be bygones, he is not so sure she agrees.

Jones and Jones is still a viable, if lethargic, psychic detective agency in Harmony, and one of the public faces of Arcane. Marlow Jones has recently taken over as head of the agency and is trying to find her footing. Her dream-light reading skills are not much like the chaos-theory talents of her predecessors. So, having the Burning Lamp stolen on her watch is not a good way to start her new career. Adam Winter's Guild connections may be the key to retrieving it, if she can just get past her hormones and see him as a business associate.

Adam Winters, former member of the secretive Bureau has recently been made head of the Ghost Hunter Guild. He needs Marlowe and the Burning Lamp more than she can imagine. He is losing his sanity; turning into a Cerberus, a multi-talent rogue who must be hunted down and exterminated. Her dream-light gifts and the lamp are the only hope of survival, for him and for Harmony.

Marlowe has given up on marriage. Her talent makes sleeping near another impossible, or so she thought until she met Adam. He knows she is the woman for him the first moment he sees her, he just needs the patience to wait for her to see their passion as more than physical.

MIDNIGHT CRYSTAL weaves together three of the author's paranormal worlds-- those written under the names Amanda Quick, Jane Ann Krentz and Jayne Castle. It is the third in the Dreamlight Trilogy, and does a fairly good job of summing up the story arc. It is always lovely to visit Harmony again. The plot has plenty of excitement, danger and hot steamy sex to go around.
