In the summer of 1939, Jessie Fordham leaves Cambridge for her family’s summer house, le lac de minuit, the midnight lake, in the French Ardennes. But beneath its tranquil surface lie fractured family relationships, old suspicions and the gathering shadow of war.
When Germany invades France in May 1940, Jessie’s father, Britain’s Military Attaché to France, entrusts her with a dangerous secret that must reach British intelligence in London.
With her siblings and household staff in her care, Jessie must escape across a country collapsing before the German advance. Their only hope lies at Dunkirk.
From the forests of the Ardennes to the battered streets of Dunkirk, Jessie must summon every ounce of courage and ingenuity to protect those she loves and safeguard her father’s secret.
In a world consumed by war, loyalty, sacrifice and family will be tested to their limits.
An evocative historical drama that brilliantly merges emotional depth with sweeping historical events. From the icy decks of the Titanic to the gritty streets of 1930s New York, this novel weaves a hauntingly powerful narrative that explores identity, revenge, and the resilience of the human spirit.
The story follows Magda, a fiercely ambitious young Ukrainian woman who escapes her troubled past aboard the Titanic under a new identity. Surviving the infamous disaster in an extraordinary twist of fate, she awakens with no memory of who she is. Reborn as Maggie under the care of the dignified and haunted Captain Richard Blackmore. What unfolds is not merely a recovery of memory, but a reinvention of self amid a tangle of deceit, obsession, and historical tragedy.
The author expertly captures the grandeur and horror of the Titanic, the bleak elegance of depression-era New York, and the complex interplay of social class, gender roles, and trauma. Told through a multi-perspective lens, including that of the driven and sinister Matthew Turner III, The Brittle Sea does not shy away from moral ambiguity or emotional rawness.

READER REVIEWS
"The book has an ending that will leave you thinking about it long after it ends, with more questions than answers. As a horror movie fan, it worked for me."
"The Perfect Act reads like an episode of The Twilight Zone—creepy, unsettling, and undeniably entertaining."
Hollywood made her famous.
Wealth made her ruthless.
Hollywood made Lovella Benjamin a star.
She made herself a legend.
Beautiful, ruthless and adored by millions, Lovella has spent a lifetime destroying anyone foolish enough to stand between her and success. Fame is everything. Image is everything. Mercy has never been part of the script.
Then she meets David Garand. Charming, enigmatic and impossible to forget, Garand offers her exactly what she has always wanted: the chance for her legend to live forever. But every bargain carries a hidden cost.
"This read was wickedly amusing. I finished it in one sitting. Lovella is absolutely awful but she is the reason the book is as entertaining as it is. Her dry one-liners made me laugh."
