Ladies-In-Waiting

“My courage is oozing out at the heels of my shoes,” Tommy Tucker calls from the deck as the gangplank is lifted. Bound for London with a golden-bell voice and only her own nerve to rely on, she is already making one passenger listen.

On a liner leaving Hoboken for England, Thomasina “Tommy” Tucker trades tearful farewells for a bold plan: sing her way from a modest Bloomsbury lodging to a life she can call her own. Watching from a distance, Fergus Appleton has money, work, and no particular interest in anyone—until Tommy’s voice and a spray of mignonette stir memories he thought safely buried. She is determined to make her way; he is convinced he has missed his chance at romance. What might change when their paths cross?
