Residuum: Ghosts of Southampton Book 2

The weight of survival haunts those who escaped the depths. When the Titanic's survivors reach New York City on a gray April morning, solid ground offers no refuge—the true struggle has only begun.

Meg Westmoreland thought leaving Southampton meant leaving her demons behind, but the ocean's grip doesn't release so easily. Now engaged to wealthy Charlie Ashton, she faces an impossible choice: embrace this new life or flee into anonymity once more. The ghosts of Titanic cling to them both, and returning to Southampton to confront her mother and uncle feels like walking back into the wreckage. Can she find the courage to stand beside Charlie, or will their contract marriage become another casualty of the disaster?

Charlie's mind offers no quiet. Titanic replays endlessly in his thoughts, fracturing his grip on reality. The woman he's promised to marry deserves his full attention, his presence, his heart—but how can he give her anything when he's drowning in memories? Losing Meg to his own unraveling is a fate worse than the cold Atlantic.

In the second book of the Ghosts of Southampton series, Meg and Charlie must navigate the wreckage of trauma, grief, and unexpected devotion as they fight to reclaim their lives after the disaster that changed everything.
