PARALLEL DESIRE is the fourth book of the Midnight Warriors Series.
Scott Dillon is reeling from his actions as he tries to live in assassin Jacob Tierney’s body. He finds himself in the parallel world of the past, not with his wife but with Refarian medic Shelby Tyler. The real Jacob Tierney is still alive in this world, making Scott a stranger living in the wrong body, in the wrong time and the wrong dimension. With his happy ending with his wife blown to pieces, he still has residual memories of his other life. Scott risks breaking the rules of the parallel dimension design, to achieve his goal. Even if it means destroying the very fabric of the universe, he wants revenge. Vengeance overwhelms his soul, as Shelby tries to comfort and heal him. She cannot deny the passion drawing her toward the tortured Antousian, but can she accept his past and indeed her own, so that love can transform them both?
The story examines the theme of what makes up a person's identity? Is it the different body that makes the Refarians and Antousians alien? What really happens when another's body is infiltrated by another human being? Does our blood line or duty to our leaders define us as a person? As the hero is now forced to live within the body of a villain, he fights to retain his own character and not lose his soul. Ms. Knight has written a complex book with fascinating alien characters, living on earth. The plot reaches into the very heart of the universe and of love. As the true nature of the characters emerges in the earthly dimension, they wage war to protect civilization from evil alien forces attempting to take it over for their own purposes. Meanwhile the characters battle passionately for love as their true natures are revealed even in their most elemental forms of raw physicality and pure energy.
