BENEATH by Maureen A. Miller

Beneath

An overnight fishing trip on the Atlantic Oceanโ€ฆ

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 in 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 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 grottoโ€“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?

On an alliance forged by friendship and attraction, Stella and Colin battle to escape the danger that lies beneath.

About Maureen A. Miller

Maureen A. Miller

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. Recently, Maureen branched out into the Young Adult Science Fiction market with the popular BEYOND Series. To her it was still Romantic Suspenseโ€ฆjust on another planet!

Re: Maureen A. Miller | Reader Author Match

yes
(Emily Stemp 3:04pm March 28, 2018)

Books with page-turning adventure as well as Corgi photos.
(Sharon Berger 5:34pm March 28, 2018)

Ooh mozzarella, now I am hungry... love me some adventure and romance... :)
(Colleen Conklin 7:38pm March 28, 2018)

mozzarella definitely but pretty much 1-4 and 7
(Pam Howell 5:34am March 29, 2018)

I know news is important to keep up with but would much
rather be reading a book. Especially when I was a
student, was described as having a lively imagination and
might be caught staring into space "thinking." Am always
looking for adventure, but from my armchair. Which makes
my curiosity over interplanetary travel much safer of an
experience in general. Shipwrecks, ocean voyages, romance
and any mixture there of, always gets my attention. And
are there really people out there who don't believe that
Mozzarella goes on everything?
(G. Bisbjerg 8:40am March 29, 2018)

I would rather read than watch the news.
(Cheryl Castings 9:36am March 29, 2018)

I read about a book a day and any important news my husband tells me. I am mostly housebound, but do get to travel in our RV with my husband cross country once a year. So many things to see.
(Sharon Mitchell 3:46am March 31, 2018)

We match six out of seven and as a bonus, I love corgis!
(Denise Malia 12:00pm March 31, 2018)

Iโ€™m definitely a match! Cheese, adventure, and reading - a great

books with romance & adventure!
(Jenny Solis 12:03pm March 31, 2018)

adventure the day may bring...especially beneath the paper
ocean of Maureen Miller!
(Nina Crespi 7:06am April 1, 2018)

7/7 match! 😊
(Marisa Fort 3:59pm April 1, 2018)

all of the items she listed 1-7 and then on the next list the only difference would
be pictures of my Papillion. LOL!
(Tammy Ramey 8:31pm April 1, 2018)
