In Southampton, on June 14, 1911, 18-year-old Valerie Cortez, a beautiful and conflicted young woman, boards the RMS Olympic for its maiden voyage. Accompanied by her mother, Victoria, her envious younger sister, Vivian, and her controlling fiancé, Charles Blackwood, Valerie is set to marry Charles in New York, a union designed to restore her family's fading fortune. However, as the ship sails across the Atlantic, Valerie's life begins to unravel. Amidst the growing tension that arises, Valerie meets a mysterious stranger aboard the ship-a man who sees through the gilded façade of her life and offers her a glimpse of a different future, one free from societal constraints. Will Valerie escape the gilded cage of her life, or will she be lost beneath the waves of societal constraints? 📣📣📣This is my first story! It is based on the sister ship of the Titanic: the RMS Olympic. This story is inspired by the fictional story of Rose and Jack, although the characters are not the same. I created the book cover, and the images/art posted in the media. I received assistance from AI using Open Art and Canva. This work is my own therefore plagiarism is not allowed, nor will it be tolerated. Lastly, my vision is to create the tone of the early 1900s but have a modern twist to it. Similar to the hit Netflix show: Bridgerton. Enjoy! 📣📣📣
