First class clothing designer Elizabeth Scott isn’t all that she appears. She may be elegant and poised on the outside, dining with the richest on the ship, but she’s hiding a dark secret within.

Thieves boarded the Titanic, too…
Officer Thomas McGuire is as honest as they come. Working to make a decent living on the ship of dreams, he can’t believe his eyes when the most striking lady he’s ever seen steals from another first class passenger. As the night goes on, Thomas must decide whether he plans to arrest or seduce Elizabeth and she’s not making it easy on him—the heat sparking between their bodies is unlike anything either of them has ever known.
Time is running out…

The Titanic is sinking fast, with little more than an hour before it settles on the ocean floor. Although Elizabeth has finally met a true gentlemen, one who gazes upon her with total adoration and fulfills her deepest fantasies, he insists on helping other passengers until the last minute, even if that means going down with the ship.

The Robin Hood of Titanic, that is what dress designer Elizabeth Scott is.  While a first class passenger herself, she steals from her fellow first class passengers to give money and goods to the third class passengers in steerage.  Too bad for Elizabeth the Master in Arms second in charge, Thomas McGuire, catches her in her act of thievery.

Thomas follows Elizabeth as she runs through the third class passageways.  He follows her because she suspects her of stealing, but also because someone about her calls to him.  When he does finally catch up with her, he takes her to his quarters, instead of the brig.  Determined to get the truth from her, he’s shocked when she propositions him.  But he doesn’t turn her down.  Instead they have a quick earth-shattering encounter.

Thomas leaves Elizabeth, with both of them thinking this was a one time affair, but they don’t get much time to think of what comes next, as a pesky iceberg gets in the way of Titanic’s voyage across the Atlantic.

The author does a great job of interweaving what happened during those 2 hours after hitting the iceberg into the story.  Unfortunately (and this is by no means the author’s fault) I kept waiting for Kate Winslet to come sailing through the pages screaming Jack’s name or Leonardo DiCaprio telling Rose to never let go.  However, this story does get a happy ending.
