Release Date: June

Before disappearing at sea, Marissa Pruitt’s father—a once revered
marine archaeologist—walked the line of insanity, claiming to have seen a
mermaid during an ordinary dive in the Gulf of Mexico. He abandoned his life
and career, completely obsessed with chasing the truth.
It’s been years since his death, and Marissa is still tormented by
countless unanswered questions. When she finds dive coordinates and a stone
pendant hidden in her father’s things, she asks for help from his old protégé
and sets out to give her father one last goodbye and maybe find closure for her
troubled heart. Instead, she finds the truth he’d been searching for all along,
with a life and love she never could have imagined. But there’s a price to see
it all, one set by betrayal and paid with an anchor at her feet and salt water
in her lungs.
Marissa inhaled her first breath from the bailout bottle, hard and
deep, and held it as she jerked at the chains for escape. Holding a breath
while diving was not the best idea. It led to more recovery breaths, wasting
more air. But, with a limited capacity bottle, she had to take the risk. She
needed more time.
The anchor hit bottom. Her bare feet followed a moment later,
colliding with its metal and the sand below, kicking up a cloud of sediment.
She didn’t bother to look around. Her focus was only on the chain, but that
didn’t keep her brain from wondering what was around her. The light from the
surface was weak, dispersing through the water with only a faint glow. It was
some reassurance that there were fewer predators around to smell the blood from
the cut on her head. That light and reassurance would be gone soon enough,
though. She wouldn’t last to see it go completely dark. She’d either be topside
or dead.
Her heartbeat pounded on, a clock counting down to her fate. It
screamed for her the words she couldn’t speak. It screamed for the air she
couldn’t freely take.
J.M. Miller currently consumes her coffee in Florida. When she
isn't busy being distracted by social media sites, she writes Young Adult and
New Adult romance novels that vary in genre from contemporary to paranormal,
with a little mystery thrown in for fun.
Aside from spending time with her family, she loves to travel and
will jump at the chance to go anywhere, whenever life allows.
