Book description
Book three in the Southern Spirits Series The 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. Reader Advisory: This book is best read in sequence as part of a
series but can be read as a stand alone title. _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.
