Freedom's Price: A CIA Special Activities Thriller

Navy SEAL turned CIA operative Brian Allen thought he'd found his purpose in life—until PTSD from a devastating mission began haunting his nights. When the beautiful and fierce marine archaeologist Jennifer Santiago literally explodes into his world with a flare gun and an attitude, Brian discovers something worth fighting for beyond duty and country.

Jennifer Santiago has dedicated her life to uncovering treasures from the deep, determined to prove herself in a male-dominated field. The last thing she needs is a charming playboy with mysterious government connections disrupting her carefully planned expedition to Algeria. But when her vengeful former employee orchestrates her kidnapping, Jennifer finds herself thrust into a deadly world of human trafficking and international intrigue.

From the luxury yachts of Morocco to the dangerous streets of Tunisia, Brian must use every skill from his special forces background to track Jennifer across multiple countries. Racing against time and defying direct orders, he'll risk everything—his career, his life, and his heart—to bring her home safely.

But Jennifer Santiago isn't just any damsel in distress. The daughter of a CIA Director, she's got skills of her own and refuses to be a victim. As bullets fly and explosions rock the Mediterranean, two strong-willed people must learn to trust each other completely if they want to survive.

In a world where love is the ultimate treasure, some prices are worth paying.
