The Futuristic World of St. Helen’s series, written as Jayne Castle, consists of three books named after flowers: Amaryllis (1996), Zinnia (1997), and Orchid (1998). Set on a colonized world where humans have developed psychic abilities, the books combine science fiction worldbuilding with romance and mystery. Each novel follows a different couple navigating both their growing attraction and a dangerous situation.

The St. Helen’s books are among the earlier entries in Krentz’s futuristic fiction universe. They establish the rules and atmosphere of the colonized world that she would continue to explore in later Harmony and Rainshadow books, making them of interest to readers who want to see the origins of this setting.
