The Unexpected Escape

Ferra Empire #2, Clean Romantic Adventure, Full-length Novel

*Series does not need to be read in order*

How far will they have to go to outrun their pasts?

Joey Ferra booked a one-way ticket to Europe to shake his grief. But a deadly scuba-diving experience transforms his casual trip into an unexpected fight, especially to crack the tough exterior of his gorgeous, green-eyed rescuer. Modern-day pirates and thieves threaten to end him, but he’s found a souvenir for life, if she’ll let him.

Kristiana Duvall is a treasure hunter at heart and a professional scuba diver by day. She’s not the settling kind. Her life is spent uncovering other people’s secrets, and avoiding hers. But when she rescues an unconscious, handsome diver, her world takes a dive of its own into a realm she’s never explored—love. Her secrets unravel at the hands of Joey Ferra. And the treasure she longs for most seems just out of her reach.

“The Unexpected Escape” is a gripping tale of love, loss, and the extraordinary lengths we’ll go to in search of hope and healing.
