One woman searching for her past. One man on a mission for answers. And a secret that will change their lives forever. Ireland, 1915. In the shadow of the Great War, Jane Doe washes ashore in Queenstown, remembering nothing of her past. A survivor of the Lusitania, a civilian vessel torpedoed by German submarines, she's desperate to uncover her identity. But the stories of her fellow passengers only deepen her confusion and heartache. London, 1915.
George Wilkinson, FBI investigator, receives a chilling telegram: an alert about Mary Turner, wanted in connection with the murder of her employer. Hearing about a lone woman survivor of a German attack, he travels to Ireland to uncover her true identity. But what he will uncover will be more devastating than he could ever imagine. And so begins a journey from New York to Liverpool, from the heights of society to the third-class decks of a doomed ship, as Jane and George draw ever closer to the truth that will bind their fates forever. A breathtaking tale of secrets and sacrifice, perfect for fans of Santa Montefiore and Lucinda Riley. Readers love Daisy Wood! 'Oh my!!!
