Southern Spirits - Bailey Bradford - Bog

All of the VoicesThe body might be reluctant, but there''s more than one spirit willing to step in and keep two stubborn men from walking away from each other forever...Deputy Matt Nixon has had a rough time of it lately. He''s put up with the spirit of his boss''s dead lover, been stabbed, and had his fledgling interest in another man cruelly flung back in his face. His only close friend is an elderly woman who gets her kicks from calling in false prowler reports then greeting the responding deputies with a lewd proposition and little clothes.When he finds her dead, Matt grieves for the old woman so many people snickered at-and he fumes at the idea of her snooty nephew from New York who never bothered to visit her. Matt is going to give Carlin Douglas a piece of his mind if he does show up.Carlin Douglas hates the small town of McKinton, Texas. The only other time he''d been there was years ago when Zeke Mathers was almost killed in a gay bashing. Now Carlin has obligations that keep him tied to New York, but he doesn''t mind.Until he clashes with Deputy Matt Nixon, a man who seems determined to hate him. But McKinton is a different place, and there''s always a spirit or two lingering, just waiting for an opportunity...Or meddle. Wait Until DawnBeware of what follows you back from the dead...Detective Rich Montoya was attacked by Sheriff Stenley''s stalker in When the Dead Speak. A year later, Rich is having a rough time, haunted by a malevolent spirit that''s making his already fragile existence hellacious.Rich, who''s kept to himself for the past year, is scarred more than physically. The last thing he thinks he needs is a lover, little does he know...Chris Neeland is a big guy who drives a big rig, and all it takes is one look at the sexy, wounded man driving the cute little Miata and Chris is sunk. His mystical mother always told him love would hit Chris like a bolt of lightning, fast and hard and not without pain, but he kind of hadn''t believed her until he meets Rich.
