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 a trek around the world, as he attempts to crack the tough exterior of his gorgeous, green-eyed rescuer. Modern-day pirates and thieves threaten to end them, but he’s finally found someone he’s willing to turn his life upside for (if she’ll let him) and he’s not giving that up easily.



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 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. However, 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.
