An omnibus of novels by Bailey Bradford
A Subtle Breeze Ezekiel Matthers is a reclusive man, exiling himself to his ranch after a violent assault. While the scars on the outside have faded, the damage inside is much harder to conquer. He resigns himself to a solitary existence, aside from family visits. Brendon Shanahan has a very meddling cousin who is best buds with Enessa Matthers. When they convince Brendon he should hook-up with Zeke, a plan is hatched that sets a series of potentially deadly events into motion, because someone is out to destroy everything Zeke holds dear. When the Dead Speak Sheriff Laine Stenley thinks he might be losing his mind. Ever since he'd encountered the spirit of his friend's deceased mother, strange things have been happening. 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 irresistible. To survive long enough to explore that attraction, Laine and Severo must both listen when the dead speak.
