About this listen
In this sweeping historical fiction tinged with mystery and romance, a young woman must navigate societal expectations, family secrets, and her own awakening independence in the shadow of World War I and the RMS Lusitania’s doomed voyage.
In the wake of World War I, New York heiress Alexandra Benson finds her life irrevocably changed after the tragic and mysterious death of her parents. Now, in a cruel twist of fate, her father’s testament delivers the agonizing blow, granting her uncle control over her inheritance—unless she marries.
To safeguard her future, Alexandra hatches a plan with the aid of a dashing stranger to fake an engagement and claim what’s rightfully hers. Caught amid wartime tensions and her uncle’s devious plots, Alexandra and her fiancé are forced to embark on the fateful voyage to England aboard the RMS Lusitania. Where nothing is as it seems.
When wartime secrets beckon questions of espionage and betrayal, Alexandra must navigate societal expectations and her own awakening independence as she finds her heart torn by her fake engagement scheme and devastating family secrets in this sweeping tale of one woman’s quest for truth and autonomy at the brink of tragedy.
