It is Monday.
What could cheer us up?
Men in Uniform. Yep. But I need something a little different. Vampires, witches, werewolves.
How about some Sheriffs in Paranormal Romance?
My lists are never in any particular order. We have some Sheriff Heroines here too!
Enjoy!
1. Ghost Seer by Robin D. Owens
When her eccentric aunt passes away, no-nonsense accountant Clare Cermac inherits more than just a small fortune. She receives the gift of communicating with ghosts. While Clare may not believe in spirits, it’s hard to overlook the shadowy talking dog appearing on her bed or spectral cowboys tipping their hats to her in the streets of Denver. And when she locks eyes with sexy—and living—Zach Slade, there’s certainly no ignoring him either.
A former deputy sheriff, Zach is leaving a painful past behind in Montana for a new life in Denver as a private investigator, a job that has him crossing paths with beautiful Clare. Not that she minds. After the restless ghost of a Wild West gunman demands her assistance, Clare finds herself needing Zach more and more—and not just for help.
