Leif, a hot, eyeliner-wearing, pierced and studded sword-wielding Nordic-looking new-guy-in-town partners with Dan, the quiet and broody country-boy farmer of the tanned and well-muscled variety for some intense ghost bashing.
I’m imagining a kind of Dean and Sam of Supernatural TV and fanfic fame. Our two studly heroes are very good at what they do, called Walkers, they help the hainted to move on or destroy those spirits bent on causing harm. Set in Appalachia country, the land of moonshine and hillbilly sensibility (ah, good memories of Lyn Gala’s “ Mountain Prey”), this paranormal romance takes a more serious route and centers around haint, or ghost, hunting. Haint: southern colloquialism for a ghost, apparition or lost soul in folklore and popular culture, the spirit of a deceased person unable to move on to final peace, and capable of appearing in visible form or otherwise manifesting itself to the living. But as Leif finds himself drawn deeper into Dan’s life, he quickly realizes he’s not just in danger of breaking the rules, but breaking his heart as well. Since Nice Guys are off the menu, Leif just has to keep his hands to himself for as long as it will take to stop Runar’s latest scheme. It keeps things simple, especially since his oath to stop Runar has him constantly drifting from one town to the next.īut this time, it looks like Leif is going to need help, in the form of the very down-to-earth Dan.
The Bad Boy: Pierced, tattooed Leif never has sex with the same guy twice. Besides, the sexy Leif is too much of a temptation, and Dan is firmly in the closet. With two teenagers to look after, he’s already got all the trouble he can handle. So when the flamboyantly goth Leif Helsvin shows up on Dan’s doorstep looking for help with an evil necromancer named Runar, Dan’s first instinct is to turn him down.
But the death of his parents six years ago forced Dan to give it up in exchange for raising his brother and sister, all the while struggling to keep their rural NC farm afloat. Not everyone can help the restless dead cross over, especially when the haunting threatens the Living. BLURB: The Good Guy: Haint-working runs in Dan Miller’s blood.
