Diamonds and Iron Nails

Elise Arabella Vanderbilt was everything a well-raised woman should be. She was the epitome of beauty, the stark image of class, and above all, she could rival any man in terms of education and ambition. Not only did she come from a prominent American family, but she originated from none other than the Vanderbilts. After the twenty-year-old completed her education in London, she heads back to New York aboard the RMS Olympic where she meets thirty-eight-year-old Thomas Andrews, the ship's naval architect and the man who will change the course of her life. During the ocean liner's maiden voyage, Elise and Thomas' worlds collide.
