One Summer — Elle Jefferson

*Originally part of the Southern Seduction boxset*

Maddie knew it was going to be an awful trip. Not only did going to Dallas Texas mean to much time with her father, who thought everything she did was wrong. There was also perfect Brayden, the golden child, to compete with. And of course, there was the reason she was being dragged to this doom. Her mother's dying wish. Give some secret box to an uncle who'd written them off more than a year ago.

All in all it was going to be the worse summer on record until she met JR.



JR is handsome, sweet and looks mouthwatering in his underwear. There's only one problem, every time she gets close to finding what's hiding beneath those boxers, he freaks and books it. She doesn't think she's reading his signals wrong. Then again she failed all her linguistics and sociology classes.



Maddie soon finds out the problem when JR asks the one question she dreads. The question most people aren't prepared for her answer to, “Can you really talk to the dead?”

If she's honest with him it's certain he'll turn cold-fish permanently.
