Despite living in the shabby docklands of Southampton, in 1954 Gemma Barrett has much to be thankful for. She has a good job in a big department store, a best friend with whom she shares her hopes and dreams, and a blossoming romance with Nick Weston, a first officer with Cunard. Life would be great if it wasn’t for her mother, Eve, who likes more to drink than is good for her. And when Gemma’s dad walks out and Eve starts bringing strange men home, Gemma doesn’t know where to turn. Desperate to escape, she seizes the opportunity to be a stewardess on the Queen Mary<\/em>, voyaging to and from New York, and when she discovers that Nick is also on board, it seems an affirmation that she made the right decision. But a chance encounter with Vince Morelli, a gang boss in the New York docks, looks set to jeopardise her newfound happiness. Vince has friends in high places and is used to getting what he wants – and when he sets his sights on Gemma, the results could be devastating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":221,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[45],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-5834","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-fiction-t","first","instock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"yoast_head":"\n
