The Titanic Letters is one of the most unique experiences I've ever had.
The story begins
Before the ocean,
there was a betrayal.
Liam Cunningham offers Elise a steady future. Preston Beaumont, wealthy and married, offers something far more dangerous.
On the eve of the maiden voyage, her private choices are already pulling her in opposite directions. Then a dark conspiracy threatens everything she thought she knew.
Follow a fictional story of forbidden love and mystery against the history of the Titanic. The destination may be famous. The lives hidden inside these letters are not.
Read it for yourself
One voice.
One envelope.
A reason to keep reading.
A hotel window. A ship unlike anything Elise has ever seen. The last evening before departure.
Excerpt from Letter 1.
Elise Fairchild · April 9, 1912
She is here. The Titanic.
Forgive me, for I know I have written of her before in abstract terms, but to see her now in person, on the eve of her great departure, is an experience that renders all prior descriptions inadequate.

What members are saying
Bought this for my mom because she's obsessed with anything Titanic-related. It was a huge hit. She. Loves. It.
This is something special. The mystery is expertly paced. What makes it so brilliant is how the love story provides the perfect, tangled motive. Setting it all on the Titanic made it perfect.
Wow. Just wow. I opened the first one and was immediately sucked in. The love triangle is so juicy, you feel so bad for Elise but also... you get it lol.
