​In 1934, a luxury cruise becomes a fight for survival as two women’s pasts collide on a round-trip voyage from New York to Havana in New York Times bestselling author Chanel Cleeton's page-turning new novel inspired by the true story of the SS Morro Castle.

New York heiress Catherine Dohan seemingly has it all. There’s only one problem. It’s a lie. As soon as the Morro Castle leaves port, Catherine’s past returns with a vengeance and threatens her life. Joining forces with a charismatic jewel thief, Catherine must discover who wants her dead—and why.

Elena Palacio is a dead woman. Or so everyone thinks. After a devastating betrayal left her penniless and on the run, Elena’s journey on the Morro Castle is her last hope. Steeped in secrecy and a burning desire for revenge, her return to Havana is a chance to right the wrong that has been done to her—and her prey is on the ship.

As danger swirls aboard the Morro Castle and their fates intertwine, Elena and Catherine must risk everything to see justice served once and for all.

READ MY BOOK REVIEW

The Cuban Heiress is the first book I’ve read from author Chanel Cleeton, and I enjoyed it. This is a quick, historical romance with mystery and intrigue and is loosely based on the fire that consumed the SS Morro. Personally, I don’t think this part was NEEDED at the end- it felt misplaced, the story was fine without it, but it was still a good book, nonetheless. I enjoyed both MCs here (Elena and Catherine) and found the twist to be a good one. I wasn’t expecting it at all! I think many readers who have enjoyed the author’s work in the past will like this one. I’m excited to read more from her in the future.
