~*~ 1912-1913 ~*~
Giselle Johnson is a performer at one of the most famed cabarets in Paris, The Moulin Rouge. Grief drove her from her home in Maybrook, Pennsylvania years ago but now unwise and dangerous decisions from her recent past are driving her to return to America. On her way, coincidence defies the odds when she is thrown into the path of a handsome stranger again and again. They meet lastly on the world's largest ship, where they both intended to take her maiden voyage home.
RMS Titanic was supposed to be the ship of dreams meant to carry Giselle to what is left of her family, but it soon becomes her ship of nightmares that only this new stranger can wake her from.
Phillip Fisher had all going well for him. He had a booming career in Germany, women, wealth, and now he is coming home to New York after years away to start a new chapter of greatness. His parents are to the brim with pride over his new opportunity to work closer to them and perhaps settle but Phillip's rogue heart is impossible to satisfy with domestic, cookie-cutter perfect women.
He finds himself enthralled with Giselle even as she seems determined to avoid his charms.
Then they find themselves in the middle of the same tragic disaster but when Phillip takes a hit to the head that leaves him without a memory, he must decide if he should piece together his past or follow his heart's desire to be loyal to this stranger that is on the run from something evil.
As their bond grows, so do their apprehensions. Both of their pasts could be their biggest obstetrical yet, tearing them apart a final time.
**The Maybrook Trilogy is better to be read in sequence.
This book does contain some violence and mature sexual content best suited for ages 18 years and up.
