\n “Ab\u00e9 is an exquisite storyteller. Rich in detail and deeply moving.” \u2013Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Lions of Fifth Avenue<\/p>\n

“One of the most beautifully written books I\u2019ve ever had the pleasure to read. A gorgeous, phenomenal novel I won\u2019t soon forget.\u201d \u2014Ellen Marie Wiseman New York Times bestselling Author of The Orphan Collector<\/p>\n

Perfect for fans of Jennifer Chiaverini and Marie Benedict, this riveting novel takes you inside the scandalous courtship and catastrophic honeymoon aboard the Titanic of the most famous couple of their time\u2014John Jacob Astor and Madeleine Force. Told in rich detail, this novel of sweeping historical fiction will stay with readers long after turning the last page.<\/p>\n

Madeleine Talmage Force is just seventeen when she attracts the attention of John Jacob \u201cJack\u201d Astor. Madeleine is beautiful, intelligent, and solidly upper-class, but the Astors are in a league apart. Jack\u2019s mother was the Mrs. Astor, American royalty and New York\u2019s most formidable socialite. Jack is dashing and industrious\u2014a hero of the Spanish-American war, an inventor, and a canny businessman. Despite their twenty-nine-year age difference, and the scandal of Jack\u2019s recent divorce, Madeleine falls headlong into love\u2014and becomes the press\u2019s favorite target.<\/p>\n

On their extended honeymoon in Egypt, the newlyweds finally find a measure of peace from photographers and journalists. Madeleine feels truly alive for the first time\u2014and is happily pregnant. The couple plans to return home in the spring of 1912, aboard an opulent new ocean liner. When the ship hits an iceberg close to midnight on April 14th, there is no immediate panic. The swift, state-of-the-art RMS Titanic seems unsinkable. As Jack helps Madeleine into a lifeboat, he assures her that he\u2019ll see her soon in New York\u2026<\/p>\n

Four months later, at the Astors\u2019 Fifth Avenue mansion, a widowed Madeleine gives birth to their son. In the wake of the disaster, the press has elevated her to the status of virtuous, tragic heroine. But Madeleine\u2019s most important decision still lies ahead: whether to accept the role assigned to her, or carve out her own remarkable path\u2026 <\/p>\n

\u201cA touching, compelling, and haunting love story that will delight fans of historical fiction and enthrall those of us for whom the Titanic will always fascinate.\u201d \u2013Hazel Gaynor, New York Times bestselling author of When We Were Young and Brave<\/p>\n

\u201cAn engaging novel told with both heartbreaking care and vivid detail. The Second Mrs. Astor is historical fiction at its gripping and irresistible best.\u201d \u2013Patti Callahan, New York Times bestselling author of Surviving Savannah and Becoming Mrs. Lewis
