The glittering nightclubs of 1950s Miami.

The dangerous secrets of the Cuban Revolution.

One woman, caught between both worlds, with the power to rewrite history.

Lilly Steele spent her childhood learning how to survive in an unjust world that wanted to see her break. But she has always known she was meant for something more.  

When a divorce leads her to Miami, Lilly navigates the city as a nightclub singer, dancer, and single mother. Her wits and connections open doors usually closed to women, making her privy to the deadly games of politicians and criminal kingpins. It’s not until she meets her match in a young revolutionary named Fidel Castro that Lilly believes she has found her destiny—to help bring democracy to Cuba.

As revolution stirs in the streets of Havana and the forests of the Sierra Maestra, Lilly becomes swept up in Castro’s vision for his country. But the line between liberator and tyrant is razor thin, and what begins as a fight for freedom could threaten Lilly’s family, her country, and her life.

Entangled in conspiracies, Lilly’s discovery of information the world is not supposed to know sends her down a dark path where the question is not whether she will survive…but who she will protect and what she’s willing to expose.  

Inspired by a story kept secret for half a century, An Unconquered Woman is a thrilling historical fiction about power, purpose, and a resilient woman who refuses to be controlled.
