On the run, their attraction growing, they arrive in the southern city of Savannah for a St. Patrick’s Day they will never forget.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I've loved the city of Savannah since my first vacation there as a kid. Its little wonder that Eric and Leia hid out in the beautiful and historic Georgia town. It would have been my first choice too! I've tried my hardest to let my readers experience a taste of the city while getting swept up in the lives of my characters. I think books are an incredible way to experience the world without leaving your hometown.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Leia was modeled on a woman I knew while I was taking classes toward a master's in accounting. Eric was inspired by the hundreds of romance books I've read.

Excerpt from Savannah Run
“Hello, Mr. Robb. I hope you remember me; it’s Leia Stone. I worked on your taxes last year.”
“Yes, I recall. I missed your assistance this year.” He remembered the pretty brunette accountant.
employed at Gladwell & Smith.
“Last year you told me you’re the guy people call when their whole world is flipped upside down. And that you can put it right side up again. You’re some kind of facilitator for people with problems, right?”
“Yes, I’m a fixer,” he replied.
Facilitator was too kind of a word to describe what he did. Eric Robb was a fixer; short of killing people, he would fix just about any problem a client brought to him. Business partner stealing from you? No problem. He would get the money back. Assets need to disappear before a divorce—what assets? Need a scandal to be swept under the proverbial rug before it could ruin a fledgling political career? Done. He was good, quiet, and very expensive. The tools of his trade ranged from computer hacking to blackmail. He would play dirty so his clients could get what they wanted.
“My life is upside down.”
Eric could hear a PA system in the background. She was in an airport or train station.
“What’s happened?” he asked.
“I took information…evidence that I want to turn in to the FBI. It will send people to jail. I went to the New York FBI office, and they turned me away. I didn’t have an appointment. I didn’t get past the front door.” Her voice was a little shaky.
He hoped that she was overreacting; she was an accountant. Tax fraud wasn’t usually the FBI’s jurisdiction. He liked to deal in hard facts, not suppositions. He should be able to talk her off the ledge and give her some advice. Peace of mind was all she needed. Maybe revisit his offer to take her out for a drink.
