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.

started out interesting became Hallmark love story

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

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.

Great book to listen!
