Synopsis
On a mission of vengeance, time traveler Scott Dillon finds himself marooned in the past-and risks disrupting the entire universe in his quest to destroy the warrior who killed his wife and unborn child.
A never-ending passion for Scott lures Refarian medic Shelby Tyler to Texas, but the man she finds there is nothing like the man for whom she once cared. Reeling from his loss, Scott has lost himself in drinking and brawling. With her body, Shelby will lift him from despair. And with her heart, she will help him discover a part of his soul he thought was lost forever-and the devastating truth behind the murder of his wife.

November 10, 2008:
Parallel Desire: Trapped in the past wearing the body of the man who killed his wife and his unborn daughter in a future timeline, Scott Dillon is a tortured soul filled with self-loathing. Disgusted by the fact that he occupies the body of the man who will one day kill his wife and child, Scott now insists on being called by the future murderer's name, Jake Tierney.
Parallel Desire finds Scott Dillon a man truly at war with himself, a younger version of himself. Realizing that Hope Harper, the love of his life, is truly happy with the man he once was. Scott/Jake realizes he must find a new reason to go on living, in spite of the fact that he is still deeply in love with Hope.
He finds that quest with his goal to track down his wife's future killer, the real Jake Tierney. Scott hopes to use the fact that he now wears Jake's future body to infiltrate Jake's current life and somehow redirect the future so that Hope and her unborn child will be spared the horrific deaths they will suffer in the future.
Scott is overcome by grief and self hatred until medic Shelby Tyler steps in, refusing to let him wallow in his misery. As Scott and Shelby work to discover the mysteries surrounding the original Jake Tierney, they uncover grave dangers facing both Earth and the Rafarians. In the process of discovering the real Jake Tierney, Scott finds self forgiveness and new love with Shelby.
The fourth and final entry into the Midnight Warrior series, Deidre's emotional writing and captivating story lines keep the reader glued to the page. Her characters are masterfully flawed, and as they struggle against those flaws to find love in a world standing on the brink of Armageddon, the things that truly matter in life are once again reaffirmed. Next to my favorites writers; Sherrilyn Kenyon, Laurell K Hamilton and K S Michaels, Deidre Knight is up there with the best, 'unparalleled'.
Love will always find a way.
I Also Recommend: Swallowing Darkness (Meredith Gentry Series #7), Parallel Heat, Love Returns Through The Portal Of Time.

December 14, 2007: As a fan of all of Deidre Knight?s Midnight Warriors, PARALLEL DESIRE captured my heart from page one and left me holding the book to my heart when I reached the end. **** Scott Dillon 'Jake Tierny' is a tormented soul who has traveled back in time with vengeance on his mind for the murder of his wife and child. When Medic, Shelby Tyler, tracks him down after he disappears, she knows she has a lot of man to handle, and she finds that man attractive and sensual, worth bringing around. But Jake battles himself and fights Shelby?s attentions, while Shelby remembers a past betrayal that clouds her ability to love. **** During this time, the alien Antousian enemies are initiating a plan that must be stopped before it?s too late for earth and the future of the Refarians, even King Jared and his family are at risk. Because of this, PARALLEL DESIRE has fast paced action that keeps the pages turning and the reader wondering how the book will end. Deidre Knight is a master storyteller and added twists that dropped my jaw and made me hunger for more of her writing. **** In PARALLEL DESIRE, the worst events that could happen do happen, and along with this are woven the themes of acceptance and letting go, family bonds, facing oneself, and love conquers all. **** A great read!
