The Unexpected Escape: Ferra Family Book 1 (Paperback)

Some secrets are buried deep. Others refuse to stay hidden.

Joey Ferra thought a European getaway would help him escape his grief. Learning to scuba dive was just another distraction—until a deadly underwater accident changes everything. Rescued by the stunning and fiercely independent Kristiana Duvall, Joey finds himself drawn into a high-stakes world of treasure hunting and peril. When he steps in to replace a missing diver on her team, he never expects to become a target of ruthless modern-day pirates. But the real danger? Falling for a woman who refuses to let anyone past her armor.

Kristiana has spent her life uncovering secrets buried beneath the ocean’s depths—while keeping her own locked away. Rescuing an unconscious diver wasn’t supposed to change her world, but Joey Ferra makes it impossible to keep her walls up. He’s relentless, stirring feelings she never dared to acknowledge. But when her past resurfaces and threatens to destroy everything, she’ll have to decide: push Joey away or risk everything for a love as unpredictable as the sea.

Danger lurks beneath the surface. Will they learn to face the unknowns together? Or chalk it up to a vacation fling?
