It's 1912, and eighteen-year-old maid Tess Davies has been trapped in the employ of the Lisle family for years, amid painful memories and twisted secrets. But now the Lisles are headed to America, with Tess in tow. Once the ship they're sailing on--the RMS Titanic--reaches its destination, Tess plans to strike out and create a new life for herself.

Then she meets Alec, a handsome first-class passenger who captivates her instantly. But Alec has secrets of his own and soon Tess will be caught up in his dark past. The danger they face is no ordinary enemy: werewolves exist and are stalking him--and now her, too. Her growing love for Alec will put Tess in mortal peril, and fate will do the same before their journey on the Titanic is over.
