Book description
Book two in the Southern Spirits Series The only way to stay alive is
to listen when the dead speak…Sheriff Laine Stenley thinks he might just
be losing his mind. Ever since he'd encountered the spirit of his
friend's deceased mother, strange things have been happening. His
sheriff's tin star keeps popping off, his Stetson tends to fly off his
head at the most inconvenient times-and then there are the subtle
caresses that remind him of a lover's touch… Something Laine has been
without for years-since the violent murder of his partner-and figures to
be without well into the future if he wants to retain his position as
the sheriff in the small town of McKinton, Texas. Laine doesn't want to
risk his career or his heart ever again, but he may not have a choice,
not if he wants to stay alive. A man who listens to spirits, Severo has
come to McKinton to deliver a message of danger. One look at the sexy
sheriff and Severo finds himself in a different sort of danger. He's not
ready to find a man who can claim him heart, soul, and body, but ready
or not, the attraction that simmers between them is undeniable-and
irresistible. Together, they will race against time, because something
evil is coming to McKinton. Severo and Laine must learn to trust each
other-and themselves- and listen when the dead speak. Reader Advisory:
This book is best read in sequence as part of a series but can be read
as a stand alone. _x000D_ A native Texan, Bailey spends her days
spinning stories around in her head, which has contributed to more than
one incident of tripping over her own feet. Evenings are reserved for
pounding away at the keyboard, as are early morning hours. Sleep?
Doesn't happen much. Writing is too much fun, and there are too many
characters bouncing about, tapping on Bailey's brain demanding to be let
out. Caffeine and chocolate are permanent fixtures in Bailey's office
and are never far from hand at any given time. Removing either of those
necessities from Bailey's presence can result in what is know as A Very,
Very Scary Bailey and is not advised under any circumstances.
