Beneath

From USA TODAY bestselling author Maureen A. Miller comes this young adult adventure that will plunge you deep into the Atlantic Ocean.

It was Stella Gullaksen's final break before starting her freshman year at college. Joining her best friend, Jill, and Jill's family aboard the STARKISSED, Stella wakes to a violent storm that capsizes the boat over a hundred miles off the New Jersey shore.

As the waves haul her under, Stella knows that she is going to die. Instead, an unusual current drags her deep into the underwater canyons of the Atlantic Ocean. Powerless against the raging waters, she is suddenly sucked into a ventilated cave. One by one, Jill and her family also emerge into the sunken cavern.

With only a faulty diving flashlight to keep oblivion at bay, Stella and her best friend's brother, Colin, search the cave in the hope of finding a way back to the surface. What they discover, however, is that they are not alone. There are other survivors in this subterranean grotto-survivors spanning decades of maritime disasters.

Will this discovery prove salvation, or have they all been condemned to the same fate? A grim finale at the bottom of the sea?

USA TODAY bestselling author, Maureen A. Miller worked in the software industry for fifteen years. She crawled around plant floors in a hard hat and safety glasses hooking up computers to behemoth manufacturing machines. The job required extensive travel. The best form of escapism during those lengthy airport layovers became writing. Maureen's first novel, WIDOW'S TALE, earned her a Golden Heart nomination in Romantic Suspense. After that, she became hooked to the genre. As hooked as she was, childhood fantasies still danced around in her head--little voices calling for her to write the young adult science fiction BEYOND series. To her it was still romantic suspense...just on another planet! She now divides her time between romantic suspense and young adult novels.Maureen is a wife. A mother of a crazy Corgi. And a lover of mozzarella. Find more about Maureen at www.maureenamiller.com
