Beneath the Surface
By: Barbara Wilkey
When Myra—a bright, spirited teen Sami once coached—disappears without warning, Sami refuses to sit back and hope for the best. What begins as a concerned report to the police quickly unravels into something far more sinister: A shadowy network of traffickers targeting vulnerable young girls.
As Sami digs deeper, she catches the attention of Inspector Noah, who’s both baffled and captivated by her persistent determination. Realizing she may be in over her head—and in danger—Noah places her in protective custody. But keeping Sami safe is no simple task, especially when sparks begin to fly between them. As they race to uncover the truth, secrets from both their pasts emerge, threatening not only the case but also the fragile trust growing between them. With time running out and the stakes higher than ever, Sami and Noah must cut through a treacherous path of danger and desire. Will they rescue Myra—and the others—before it’s too late? Or will the truth lurking beneath the surface destroy everything they’ve fought for?
