Lillian Marshall’s father is determined
she will accompany him to England on board the great luxury liner, Lusitania.
Walter Marshall needs an accomplice in crime to execute a shrewd con to make
their fortune. Lillian is faced with an impossible decision - stay in America
and marry a man she doesn’t love for stability and security, or face her fear
of sea travel, her father’s crooked schemes, and an unknown future to reunite
with a family she’s never known.
When Edward James books passage to
England on the Lusitania, he believes his future is at last out of his
father’s hands and his career as a musician is within reach. Before the ship
sails, Edward becomes an unwitting ally in Walter’s plan to force his reluctant
daughter onto the ship. Edward finds himself drawn to the intriguing Lillian
and seeks her company at every opportunity; finally facing the possibility that
it may be Lillian who holds his heart.
Unfortunately, his uncle has more
insidious plans to wed Edward to the cold-hearted Lavinia Armitage, daughter of
a family business partner.
So begins a love story hindered by
class, time, and promises - Edward’s to marry Lavinia and Lillian’s to steal
from the man she loves. Against a backdrop of vivid characters, obscene wealth,
secrets, lies, and deceit, the countdown begins toward one of the greatest
war-time shipping tragedies in history.
