The Apricot Underground: Friends to More, Clean Romantic Suspense Novel

A work-study program in Italy sounds like the perfect way to avoid another soul-sucking summer job to Damon Radov. But what starts as an adventure of a lifetime turns into forced labor for one meal a day, and his push for answers leads to an unexpected enemy holding a gun to his head. In hindsight, getting dumped by his girlfriend via proxy becomes the least of his worries.

Recent university graduate Sasha Zatkov is supposed to be living out her dream in Sofia, Bulgaria. Instead, her adoption agency is in a freefall and she can’t seem to find the ripcord. When a gorgeous Greek man offers her agency an ideal partnership to get around the stricter Bulgarian adoption laws, a problem-free future is within her reach, until her best friend Damon recruits her for an underground mission in Athens, Greece she can’t turn down. Not everyone can be saved, and she doesn’t get to choose the survivors.

**The Apricot Underground is a friends-to-lovers suspense story. Each book in the Freedom's Cry series is a standalone novel.
