What Lies Beneath

War. Spies. Gossip and lies. Mythical Creatures. Falling in love. And its still only July.Its 1917 and everyone is doing their bit now that America has entered the Great War-everyone except 17-year-old Emma Verlaine. Her overprotective dad wont let her go to nursing school while hes off doing war work; instead shes been sent to stay for the summer with her Gran on an island off Cape Cod and the most shell be able to do for the war effort is knit socks. Socks!As it happens island life isnt so bad. There are the seals that seem even more fascinated by her than she is by them. Theres the new Navy Air Station that guards the coast from German U-boats where shes determined to get a job. But most of all theres Malcolm whose family owns a resort hotel on the island and who gives her swimming lessons and delicious kisses.But danger lurks in the waters off the island. Only Emma can save her new home-if she accepts that everything she thought she knew about her life is a lie and that the seals are following her for a very good reason.
