Outlaw telepath Rayn DeStar has discovered the perfect hiding place. Labeled a misfit by his own kind and a dangerous "dark outworlder" by others, Rayn has found a home in the wasteland of Exodus as leader of a band of nomads, where no one knows or cares that he's a dens. Rayn's peaceful anonymity comes to an abrupt end when the murder of eight miners brings interplanetary investigators to the desert. Rayn has little interest in the murders, but a great deal in the female telepath providence has sent him. Dina's strength awakens in him the lust for power and dominance he's fought against his entire life, and after years of escape, Dina forces him to face his heritage of violence.
Rookie agent Dina Marlijn arrives on Exodus, thrilled to be on her first outworld homicide case, but she carries as many secrets as she hopes to unravel. She's a telepath, a fact she hides from everyone but her partner, for her abilities are close to those of the Dark Star dens, a race so hated they're banned from Synergy Worlds. But there's one secret Dina keeps even from her partner. No one hates the dens more than she does.
When her prime suspect, a dens calling himself Rayn DeStar, saves her life, Dina pursues him for answers. With her investigative and telepathic skills, she believes she can manipulate him into helping her. When Rayn counters with lies, she expects nothing less, but when their telepathic "bond" leads her down a path of both physical and mental seduction, she's unprepared for the consequences. Trapped in a web of desire, mistrust, and betrayal, Dina crosses all the lines she never thought she would...

Reviews for RAINSCAPE:
"This is one for the keeper shelf. It has unique language and a glossary for clarification. The tone, action and characters foster anticipation for the sequel."~Donna M. Brown, Romantic Times BOOKclub, "4 1/2 Stars, Top Pick"
"Rainscape is an evocative glimpse into the minds and prejudices of man which prevent the truth from being exposed. Will Dina be able to look beyond her preconceived beliefs and uncover the truth? Rainscape is a thrilling, provocative, sensual suspense. Jaye Roycraft expertly melds SF with suspense in a gripping thriller that keeps the reader guessing until the startling finale. I look forward to the sequel."~Dena, Fallen Angel Reviews, "Recommended Read, 5 Angels"
"I really enjoyed RAINSCAPE. It has great descriptions, wonderful
characters, and a fast-paced plot that kept me glued to the book until the
final, satisfying page. Genre purists might object to some aspects of the
story -- the ending is more complex than the straightforward "happily ever
after" found in most romances -- but for anyone who enjoys the richness that
blending genres can add to a book, RAINSCAPE is a treat that shouldn't be
missed. The ending practically promises a sequel. I can hardly wait."~Carrie S. Masek, ScribesWorld Reviews, "5 Stars, Reviewers Choice"
"RAINSCAPE is a thrilling science fiction adventure and romance all rolled up
in one! Jaye Roycraft has done a wonderful job of world building with this
story. We get enough information to know what's going on, without becoming
bogged down in details. This story has a bit of everything from bias against
women and races to death and murder attempts. The characters are all
realistically portrayed with Rayn's dealing with the prejudices against those
of the Dens and his own gifts. We also have Dina's dealing with her powers of
telepathy and her hatred of the Dens. If you enjoy a good murder mystery set
in a world not our own with some romance added in, you don't want to miss
this one!"~Chere, The Romance Studio
"This is an interstellar romance that desperately needs to be a series...Roycraft's writing is so hot she melts duranium steel ship hulls."~Jacqueline Lichtenberg, Sime~Gen
"This is a great book. It really does have everything you look for in a summer read! If you love mystery, sci-fi, or a romance, this book is for you."~Beverly Forehand, Roundtable Reviews
"RAINSCAPE is the first book in Jaye Roycraft's new series and sure to hook readers and new fans from page one! Her writing is wonderfully unique and she easily maintains her status as a fabulous author with RAINSCAPE!"~By Tracy Marsac, Romance Junkies
"RAINSCAPE is so good you wish it could go on forever. Jaye Roycraft has written an exciting futuristic romance that will appeal to mystery and science fiction fans as well. The strong romance enhances a complex plot and the incredibly action-packed scenes. The author writes such vivid sub-plots that the novel's sub-plots feel very real. Readers who enjoy Marilyn Campbell and Kathleen Morgan will positively love Ms. Roycraft's debut novel that hopefully is the beginning of a brand new series."~Harriet Klausner, Midwest Book Review
"The strikes sparking between this couple bring new meaning to sexual tension. This plus the mind games and a suspenseful plot with an otherworldly setting keeps the tension flowing within the pages of RAINSCAPE. Pure unadulterated romantic fantasy makes this page-turner a delightfully entertaining book that captivates the imagination and lets you know that these few hours of pleasure was time well spent."~Darlene Kendall, Sime~Gen, "5 Stars"
Welcome to Aces, Arizona, where the big excitement on Saturday night is the sand drags, and folks look forward to the annual sidewalk egg fry contest. That's just fine with Devon Dawes. Peace and quiet are just what she's looking for after the very public death of her brother in a big-city police chase. Small town life is also just right with Rick Tredino, whose career as an undercover Phoenix cop nearly cost him his life when the woman he loved betrayed him.
But Aces has also attracted a stalker bent on revenge.
The stalker, dubbed "Mr. Ace" for his habit of sending an ace playing card with each threat, brings Devon together with Rick, a part-time private investigator. But Rick's progress on the case goes nowhere. Are the threats a result of Devon's strong stand against police pursuits at a town hall meeting? Or are they connected to the youth center Devon now runs? Rick's efforts to protect Devon are hampered as much by her dislike of cops as by Mr. Ace himself.
When Devon and Rick's tumultuous professional relationship turns personal, the past catches up to both of them. In spite of her attraction to him, Devon doesn't want Rick invading the walls she's built up to deal with her grief. And the last time Rick got this close to a woman, he almost died. The strain of the past breaks them apart just as Mr. Ace gets ready to deal his final card, only this time it isn't just vengeance on his mind…it's murder.
Reviews for ACES:
"ACES is a fast-paced story, one that you'll find hard to put down. Jaye
Roycraft has a wonderful way with words in this tale that she tells. My
only regret was the book ended! ACES is a keeper and one that you'll want
to read again and again. I'll be watching for Jaye Roycraft's future
works. You don't want to miss this one, I highly recommend ACES to
everyone!"~Kimberly Leslie, Romance Junkies, "5 Ribbons"
"Aces is an exceptional romantic suspense that will leave you breathless. Each scene is filled with exciting events that will keep you glued right up until the end. Any book that has Jaye Roycraft's name attached to it is guaranteed to be a winner. Whether paranormal or romantic suspense this author delivers what readers crave. Very highly recommended."
"Ms. Roycraft intricately weaved a tale that kept me spellbound until I finished it to the end. I had to see how it would end, who the stalker turned out to be. I have always loved Ms. Roycraft's paranormal stories and Aces being a contemporary is just as good as her other books. I look forward to reading more from this author."~Kaleen, Enchanted in Romance
"ACES was a tight, fast-paced mystery that starts with a bang and never slows
down. The characters were fully conceived and engaging - you find yourself
torn between cheering for Devon's strength and feeling frustrated at her
inability to get beyond her past. Rick is brooding and smart, with issues of
his own that makes for a more complex read. A rich supporting cast of
characters helps to add intrigue and comic relief. I love a mystery that
offers several plausible choices for the culprit. And happily, I mistakenly
guessed "whodunit" several times while reading ACES. This is Jaye Roycraft's
first contemporary romantic suspense novel, though she has written several
books in "futuristic" genres. Let us hope it is not her last."~Roundtable Reviews

Reviews for TALES FROM THE TREASURE TROVE:
4 1/2 Stars and September Top Pick from Romantic Times BookCLUB! "From contemporary to western to paranormal, there's something for every reader. Barbara Raffin kicks things off with a clever tale of reincarnated love, "Jaded." An offbeat take on the popular vampire theme is presented by Jaye Roycraft in "The Ruby Kiss." A bounty hunter and his boss take center stage in "Peridot Moon," a futuristic tale from Julie Skerven. Fans of mature heroines will enjoy Sherry Derr-Wille's "Diamond Magee." And Carris S. Masek tell "The Topaz Locket," from the perspective of an antiques dealer whose every move is being haunted by a woman in a coma.
The remaining seven stories--by Christine DeSmet, Karen Wiesner, Debbie Fritter, Alice Blue, Cassie Walder, Liz Hunter and Jane Toombs--are just as fun."~Karen Sweeny-Justice, Romantic Times
"These talented authors have managed to compile a collection of contemporary, paranormal, suspense, western, and futuristic tales that all have one thing in common, romance. Whether down the road, on an unknown planet, or in the past; these stories come to life with characters that have a love to find. The use of jewels as an additional element to differentiate each story and yet provide a consistent theme for the complete anthology was exceptional. It was an added lure to an already outstanding read to see how each author would incorporate her “jewel”. Tales from the Treasure Trove: Jewels of the Quill Anthology Volume 1 is not to be missed and has this reviewer anticipating the next offering from the dames from Jewels of the Quill."~Amanda, Fallen Angel Reviews, "5 Angels"
"Twelve stories from twelve talented authors. There are stories with restless spirits reincarnated, suspense, and romance. If you like historical romances, no problem. If you like modern contemporary, it's in here. Want a bit of magic? This book will deliver. No matter what type of romance you prefer, chances are that you will find it within this anthology...As I finished reading I found myself wanting more."~Detra Fitch, Huntress Reviews, "4 Stars"
"Tales From The Treasure Trove is full of all kinds of mysteries and romance and just
about any kind of adventure you can think of. The characters are well written with
interesting histories. This book is a fun read with each unique story being a jewel. 'A Ruby Kiss' by Jaye Roycraft: Alena Grace is joined in a scavenger hunt with one of the radio station’s bad boys, Ray McClay. But as Alena and Ray go through the hunt, Alena learns more about Ray. In the end, Alena thinks she is the winner. A Ruby Kiss is a fun adventure with a game, and
romance is the prize."
