Fallout

Fallout is the third book in the Savannah Sizzle series, and continues on from the explosive events at the end of Sabotage. The pet hotel, located on the grounds of the Savannah Sun Hotel and Resort, went up in flames along with the hateful words written on the side of the building.

Detective Juliette Foret is tasked with investigating this arson incident. The only complicating factor is that she has a highly fractious relationship with the resort’s part owner and legal counsel, Liam Lawrence Ward, who oversees the hotel security and all legal related matters... As they say, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Ignoring the detective’s stern warnings, Liam finds himself being shot at as the only witness to a murder while he covertly investigates a series of events seemingly targeting his soon to be sister-in-law, Master Chef Simone Boudreaux. Detective Foret steps in to salvage the dire situation but Liam has other plans and calls on his childhood friend and former girlfriend, FBI Senior Special Agent Maddison Stone. Stone in turn uses her influence to form a joint task force with the police to investigate the criminals deemed responsible. The FBI agent also forces Juliette to work undercover with her and infiltrate a seedy gang clubhouse.

Disgraced former MI6 operative and SPNI private security consultant, Nia Munro, has seen her share of the dark side of life. She had expected that her Georgia babysitting assignment would provide an opportunity to further explore the suspicious circumstances surrounding her last doomed mission as a spy. Nia gets more than she bargains for when she gets pulled into being Stone’s sidekick in following up on a potential lead. An unexpected local connection comes to light, making Munro question all she knows. Together, the two women confront dangerous gun runners that are smuggling armor-piercing bullets to become a formidable team.

Foret’s existence get further thrown into disarray when her mother, the United States Ambassador to Canada decides to visit Savannah unannounced with her entourage in tow just as matters come to a head. This development reveals why a former Washington, D.C., detective would up and move to the comparatively sleepy port of Savannah. 

Fallout leads to an explosive finale where Emerson and Simone get confronted by Boudreaux’s ex-husband who escaped a Canadia jail cell and faked his own death in order to seek his vengeance.

Detective Juliette Foret knows all about loss and having to start over. Her body bears the scars that come with a career dedicated to service of her community—and invisible wounds that haunt her dreams. Her new life in Georgia was supposed to be easy, to allow her time to heal, until her path crosses with that of a sadistic killer targeting the loved ones of the only infuriatingly irresistible man who has made her lose control.

Prominent hotelier and Savannah's foremost eligible bachelor, Liam Lawrence Ward, will do almost anything to protect his family, including enduring the wrath of the enigmatic detective. His clandestine investigation into those believed to be responsible for stalking his future sister-in-law and setting fire to a building at the Savannah Sun Hotel and Resort lands him in hot water when bullets start to fly.

FBI Senior Special Agent Maddison Stone has a personal stake in safeguarding her longtime friend—and former boyfriend—Liam. When his life is endangered, she makes it her business to step in and forms a joint task force to investigate the criminal gang deemed liable. Her uneasy alliance with Detective Foret, and the private security consultant hired to protect the Lawrence Wards, significantly complicates matters.

Disgraced former MI6 agent Nia Munro has seen her share of the dark side of life. She had expected that her Georgia babysitting assignment would provide an opportunity to further explore the suspicious circumstances surrounding her last doomed mission as a spy. Nia gets more than she bargains for when an unexpected local connection comes to light, making her question all she knows.

Focused on planning her wedding to Emerson Lawrence Ward, celebrity Master Chef Simone Boudreaux had hoped that a Canadian jail would be the final stop for her abusive ex-husband. The last thing she expects is to be confronted by individuals from a past that she would rather forget. When danger lurks its ugly head, Simone is forced to grin and deal with it or risk everything and everyone she has come to care about.

Fallout is the third book in the Savannah Sizzle series. The heroic characters are forced to face past demons and clash with powerfully connected foes or simply perish.
