some sort of energy field. And she hadn’t even noticed?
    Megan turned to face the direction the field was pushing her. That weathered, lichen-covered boulder—that’s where it wanted her to go. She moved toward it and immediately the energy lightened. Instead of pushing her, now it drew her, compelled her.
    Her hands were on the boulder before she was even conscious of reaching for it. It was taller than she was, an irregular oblong monolith balanced on its small end, yet so solidly planted that there must be several feet of its length buried in the ground. Tingling energy poured into her hands and filled her whole body, charging up her aura with a buzz that made her collapse against the boulder and slide to the ground with her knees bending and her back against the stone and her tailbone smacking into the dirt.
    She had a feeling she knew what this was. It was hard to believe it was here, in an abandoned lot where no one knew about it, but here it was.
    Kira strode over. “Are you all right?”
    “Give me a minute.” Megan struggled to her feet and put several yards between her and the stone. As hard as it was to tear herself away, she needed to know if her suspicions were correct. She circled the boulder, opening her senses and sinking her awareness into the ground, tuning in to what lay beneath the surface to see if she could detect other channels of energy. Some people used dowsing rods to do what she was doing. She’d never needed to. She didn’t need to hold a pointing stick to help her read the signals her subconscious sent to her gut.
    Kira watched her with a bemused look. “You look like you’re listening for something.”
    “Do you feel it?”
    “Feel what?”
    Megan shook her head impatiently. She didn’t need a dowsing rod, but she did need quiet. It would be better to come back later—alone—to get a better read on this, but she was too excited to wait.
    There it was. Another current heading for the boulder.
    Unbelievable. A ley line in Piper Beach, channeling energy from deep within the earth, zapping it around the globe. She could use this to heal her clients. If Kira hadn’t invited her back here she’d never have known. And now…
    Kira wasn’t going to be happy about this.
    “You can’t build here,” Megan said.
    Kira’s posture stiffened abruptly. “Excuse me?”
    Yeah, that went well. What did she
think
Kira was going to say?
    Megan stood up straighter. If she hadn’t already agreed to help Kira design her spa, she would definitely have done so now. Because she had to convince her not to build here. She might not be able to change her mind and get her to change her plans today, but if she worked with her and gained her trust, she’d have a chance.
    “I know you’re going to think I’m crazy, but you have two powerful ley lines running through here.”
    Kira’s eyes narrowed with suspicion. “And ley lines are…?”
    “Focused channels of earth energy. They’re like the earth’s arteries.” Megan held her breath, but Kira’s face did not cloud over with the usual get-me-away-from-the-crazy-person reaction—which was a relief, because that reaction always hurt, no matter how many times it happened—so she pressed on. “The boulder was positioned on top of the intersection of two ley lines, where the energy is strongest, to magnify the energy.”
    “You’re telling me someone placed that rock there deliberately?”
    “Yes.”
    “Like Stonehenge?”
    Megan nodded.
    “How can you tell? It doesn’t look anything like Stonehenge. It just looks like a random rock.”
    “It’s not.”
    Kira folded her arms across her chest and glared at the boulder, then at Megan, then back. “I’ve never heard of Native Americans building stone circles.”
    “They did believe certain rocks were sacred. And as you can see, this is not a stone circle, it’s a single megalith.”
    “Exactly. It’s one rock. The glaciers pushed it around and it ended up here by accident. Nothing
