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

Another wonderful Cuban story!

This series is one of my favorites! Ms. Cleeton has given us another glimpse of Cuba along with a little education about the SS Morro Castle, and all without resorting excessive sex, violence, and profanity. I highly recommend this one.

Characters and how they intertwine. Love this series. I will be sad when it ends

Gripping until the end

I binged all 6 books of the Cuba Saga and this one was my favorite. It had everything in it that kept me listening wanting more and satisfied with the ending of the characters. I think what I love most about this authors stories are the real historical background. I have learned so much while reading each story so that it doesn’t just end when the story is over.

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.

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.

Interesting story with some romance

The voice narrating Helena was annoying. You cannot listen to every sentence with a high intonation. I passed over several of those parts. The novel still made sense but a lot less enjoyable. If this was the voice in the short preview, I would have never bought it.
The story is interesting but it has some holes that make no sense, even if we consider the historical moments, women’s financial and social situation, etc.

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!
