Signals cross and sparks fly when two paranormal investigators with unfinished history chase unexplained phenomena across New Mexico in this “X-Files meets Twister” rom com.

Taylor Hayes has never had trouble believing in the impossible. As the Strange Terrain Division’s resident optimist and designated transport expert, she’s happy to follow a strange signal down a deserted highway—especially if it might lead to answers. But when people begin disappearing beneath the New Mexico sky, the reports feel unsettlingly familiar. For Taylor, this investigation is personal.

Owen Adler prefers evidence to intuition, preparation to spontaneity, and just about anything to being crammed into an RV with the one woman who makes him forget both. An ex-Area 51 analyst with a talent for keeping things classified, he knows how to handle sensitive information. Handling Taylor is another matter. She questions his plans, tests his patience, and keeps finding reasons to sit a little too close.

As mysterious frequencies pull the crew deeper into the desert, familiar arguments give way to late-night conversations, and Taylor starts catching glimpses of the man beneath Owen’s carefully maintained distance. For two people who make a living searching for signs, they’re remarkably good at misreading each other.

But with every new lead, the investigation becomes harder to explain—and harder to walk away from. As the search escalates, Taylor and Owen must decide how much they’re willing to risk for answers, and whether they can trust each other when certainty is nowhere in sight.

Some signals are impossible to explain. Others are impossible to keep ignoring.

Stellar Signals, the second interconnected standalone in the Strange Terrain series, is a swoony, slow-burn romantic adventure about unfinished history, learning to let go, and finding the courage to reach for someone who feels light-years away.
