"Beautifully crafted . . . this expertly characterized and tautly plotted story is an extremely impressive debut."
When Esther Bailey boards the RMS Titanic as
its first female officer, her welcome is lukewarm—and no one is more
unwelcoming than her own mentor, Officer Wyndham Murdoch.His cool
dismissal only turns colder once they set sail, with Esther’s short
temper challenging his own. But as they begin to earn one another's
respect, blurring the line between duty and attraction, she and Wynn
find themselves questioning what matters most: their careers . . . or the
feelings they’re hiding from each other.As the tragic fate of
Titanic unfolds around them, the officers must
put their survival second to help every last passenger aboard. With their
lives in peril and the Ship of Dreams sinking into the cold Atlantic
beneath their feet, will they overcome the odds together
and live to see daylight?
Blending fact with fiction, On the Edge of Daylight is a slow
burn, heart-wrenching historical love story between two officers who were never supposed to
fall for each other.
It rained the day she arrived in Southampton, watching the cold, sodden port drawing nearer and knowing her life would never be the same.
Esther Bailey sat in silence, mirroring the sleepy quiet of her driver as their motorcar bumped along tire tracks, the deeper ruts already swollen with water. Beyond the fogged window, a swirl of waves foamed against the docks, dark and vaguely blue beneath the daybreak sky . . .
