"An unforgettable read that should be at the top of every TBR list."—NPR

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 thrilling 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Chanel Cleeton shows just what an exceptional talent she is in her new book, The Cuban Heiress. While I’ve loved every one of Chanel’s books, I absolutely adored this one. Take one heiress with more than a few secrets, throw in a roguish jewel thief and put them aboard a glittering cruise ship sailing from New York to Havana and you have the perfect historical novel. As soon as I’d finished it, I wanted to read it again. Do not miss this book.”—Natasha Lester, New York Times bestselling author of The Three Lives of Alix St. Pierre

"Chanel Cleeton does it again with The Cuban Heiress. Using as backdrop the very real life history of the incendiary New York-Cuba voyage of the luxury cruise ship, the SS Morro Castle, Cleeton explores the explosive encounter between New York heiress Catherine Dohan and the young Cuban lady Elena Palacio. But neither woman is exactly who they pretend to be, and the journey threatens them both, as they risk their lives to pursue justice."—Marie Benedict, New York Times bestselling coauthor of The Personal Librarian

"Chanel Cleeton serves us a delicious slice of vengeance as two women risk everything for justice. The backdrop of the SS Morro Castle unfolds a chapter of history that is little known and brings the harrowing journey of that fateful voyage to life. The Cuban Heiress is a fabulous, gripping read!"—Madeline Martin, New York Times bestselling author of The Librarian Spy

Excellent!

I love the Cuban series, and this one might be my favorite! A quick, easy read!

Great book to listen!

I saw this on Saturday Morning and downloaded it. I could not stop listening to it!!! This is one of my favorite books!!

Thank you Saturday Morning for featuring this book and Chanel Cleeton!

started out interesting became Hallmark love story

Stuck it out hoping would get better but by the end was getting sick of the characters

Great story

Easy listen. Kept me interested. Great narration. I love all Chanel Clenton’s works. 2 Thumbs up

The Facts

I thoroughly enjoy how this author will glean from factual sources and make this story come to life. This author is so good about doing this throughout the course of the novel I did not anticipate that the ending would end as it did, which made this enjoyable. Any her novels that are Cuban related I have read or listen to rather this author knows what she’s doing.

Chanel does it again

I am hooked on these stories, I love how she entwines cuban history into her beautiful tales of strong women, their struggles w love, loss, and epic romance. I really did enjoy the twists in this novel. Chanel really keeps you engaged and interested and I ever find her novels copying from each other. Thx Chanel!!

My favorite yet of the Cuban Saga Series!

Couldn't wait until I could listen to it again! Work kept getting in the way! : ) Great action, mystery and romance in one.

Looked for books based in Cuba

This was my first book from Chanel Cleeton. I should have read the beginning of the series, but didn't know about it. The title is intriguing. Nonetheless, this was ok, a bit melodramatic, but a nice quick read.

Not her best!

The story sounds more like a Harlequin novel. There isn’t much depth to the characters and the dialogue was corny and overacted. It doesn’t have the same impact and intrigue nor historical power that her other novels about Cuba have. Hoping her next book will be more captivating!

Not her typical read

I have read most of Channel Cleeton’s novels about Cuba and have always loved the reads. I was disappointed in this one. I wanted to love this book and did like the fact that the story was based on historical fact as according to what I’ve researched the story behind the Morro Castle cruise ship actually happened. However the fictional storyline left a lot to be desired. Uninteresting characters and uninteresting story. Seemed like your usual corny romance . Definitely not her best.
