The Girl and the Lusitania Incident Robert Ernst

The year is 1915 and Kim Kennedy is a passenger on the RMS Lusitania as it sets sail from New York. When the ship is torpedoed and sinks in only 18 minutes due to a massive secondary explosion, the German submarine that fired the torpedo rescues Kim. Thankful to be alive, but witness to both British and German secrets, Kim is accompanied by the submarine's commander, Kapitan Walther Schwieger, to Berlin for debriefing. When attempts are made on her life because of what she witnessed being loaded onto the Lusitania at night, she takes solace in the Kapitan who continues to protect her. But as an illicit romance begins, she finds herself in the middle of a war where stakes are high, motives are hidden, and no one can be trusted.
