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.
