Whirlwind

Whirlwind by Bailey Bradford

Book eight in the Southern Spirits series

Dying sucks, but the afterlife is one hot place to be.

Stefan wasn't physically perfect in life, and his search for someone to love him resulted in his murder. Now he's been dead for years, and he's lonelier than he ever was when he was alive. His physical problems might have vanished when his body ceased to live, but his spirit has to deal with the memories of the past.

Jordan and Gideon are friends who share eager guys when they can find them, but being in a war zone hasn't allowed for that to happen often. One roadside stop puts an end to their lives. Jordan and Gideon are at a loss to understand what happens to them, why they stay behind when others go up into the light. Searching for answers, they head to Jordan's hometown - McKinton, Texas - but a hell of a lot of things have changed in the decade and a half since Jordan left.

Namely, the arrival of one wicked, joyful spirit named Stefan.

The Southern Spirits series

There's nothing quite like a Southern drawl or Southern charm - and nothing so loyal as a Southern spirit.

On the surface, McKinton, Texas seems like the stereotypical small town, USA. Smiling faces greet you everywhere you go, and people are quick to lend a helping hand. Most people, that is. Then there's the ones who let hate rule their lives, who are controlled by their own twisted passions, who are determined to hurt and destroy.

Only love can withstand and triumph over such hatred, but sometimes, even love needs a helping hand. There's something in McKinton that stands ready; Southern Spirits that intervene at the worst and best of times. With their humor, charm, and death-defying love, these spirits.
