Orchid

Title: Orchid

Author: Jayne Castle

Publisher: Pocket Books / 1998

From The Back Of The Book:

A top psychic for exclusive Psynergy Inc., Orchid Adams doesn't expect even the best marriage agencies on the space colony of St. Helen's to find her a husband who measures up to her dreans. It's just as well, because she's got her hands full with a baffling murder. One thing is certain: her new client, Rafe Stonebraker, is definitely not marriage material. But Rafe---primitive, elemental, powerful, perhaps dangerous---is perfect for an affair.....

An unlicensed private eye with an edgy reputation and a psychic talent so awesome he hides its true power. Rafe has some serious secrets. Not only is he trying to solve a strange theft, he is about to replace his grandfather as CEO of Stonebraker Shipping and is fighting to ward off a hostile takeover. He needs a wife---and fast---to salvage his credibility. Orchid Adams doesn't fit the profile he had in mind, but she fits in his arms. Will their mind/body merger spark a rollicking and rocky partnership, just as his latest case threatens to end their world.

Review:

Rafe Stonebraker is a psychic vampire and he wants a wife, and it's proving to be just a tad bit of a problem. Rafe just has too many things against him. Not only is his talent exotic (no one wants to marry one of those, to primitive) but he's also a member of the famous Stonebraker Shipping family and dosen't work for them. There must be a reason for that, right?

Orchid Adams works for a top psychic agency, and when Rafe hires her to help him settle a little theft, she doesn't think he's marriage material either but he'd be great for an affair. But while working on the case together they find, they fit together perfectly, in all ways, now if they can just stay alive long enough to make it legal.

EXCELLENT
