ABOUT THE BOOK

Research librarian Savannah Sanderson wants nothing more than to escape into her happily-ever-after novels with their larger-than-life fictional heroes. But a promise to her late husband has her attending her dreaded twenty-year high school reunion, drinking ghastly punch, and taking desperate measures just to keep her vow, even if she has to hide behind the décor to do it.

Once a reckless troublemaker, Michael McCann fled town after graduation. Now a professional technical rescuer, he’s back for the reunion, but on his trip down memory lane, he soon comes face to face with unresolved issues, namely Savannah.

Before the night is over, a pact between these two old friends will lead them on an adventure into uncharted emotional territory where Michael must confront his past regrets and find the courage to reveal the truth. But can Savannah fly from her sheltered nest and risk her heart on a real-life hero?

EXCERPT

It took about three seconds for him to realize she was running away—from him. How ironic. He should let her go. He should get on a plane and never look back, but then, history would repeat itself. He didn’t want that. The time had come to pursue her, even if it was just down the corridor through his old stomping grounds.

Michael followed the squeak of her sneakers as they echoed down the hallway.

“Oof!” There were sounds of a struggle.

What in the world?

He rounded the corner to find the janitor on the ground with his mop and pail, trying to untangle himself from Savannah. Frothy soapsuds slid down her face, proof the mop had won this round. The janitor in his blue coveralls, showing a row of white teeth, enjoyed the attention a bit too much. Michael couldn’t stop the guffaw that escaped his lips or the chuckle that followed—until she straightened, her fiery eyes narrowed and her arms folded over her chest. “It’s not funny, Michael McCann.” 

Uh-oh. He swallowed. Before he could think of what to say, she lunged for the fire-safety exit and set off the emergency alarm. That was Savannah for you. She still had a knack for the dramatic, and he loved her for it. Michael shook his head. A flight out of town was looking more and more appealing. His feet begged to flee to his rented four-by-four.
