Bath, 1912: an unforgettable journey…

Amelia Wakefield loves working at Pennington's, Bath's finest department store. An escape from her traumatic past, it feels like the store saved her life. So when Pennington's owner sets her a task to set sail on the Titanic and study the department stores of New York, Amelia couldn't be more excited – or determined!

Frustrated with his life at home, Samuel Murphy longs for a few weeks of freedom and adventure. Meeting Amelia on board the Titanic, Samuel can't help wonder what painful history has made the beauty so reserved. But he already has too many responsibilities for love.

Meanwhile, in Bath, Ruby Taylor has always kept her Pennington co-workers at a distance. Her little brother's safety is her first priority. But when that means accepting an unexpected offer of sanctuary, more than one of Ruby's secrets is under threat of being revealed...

The final gripping, powerful novel in the Pennington's Shop Girls series, set in 1912 Bath and on the fated voyage of the Titanic. Will the Shop Girls find happiness… or tragedy? Perfect for fans of Elaine Everest and Fiona Ford.
