In 1960s Florida, a young Cuban exile will risk her life—and heart—to take back her country in this exhilarating historical novel from the author of The Last Train to Key West and Next Year in Havana,a Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick.
Beautiful. Daring. Deadly.
The Cuban Revolution took everything from sugar heiress Beatriz Perez—her family, her people, her country. Recruited by the CIA to infiltrate Fidel Castro's inner circle and pulled into the dangerous world of espionage, Beatriz is consumed by her quest for revenge and her desire to reclaim the life she lost.
As the Cold War swells like a hurricane over the shores of the Florida Strait, Beatriz is caught between the clash of Cuban American politics and the perils of a forbidden affair with a powerful man driven by ambitions of his own. When the ever-changing tides of history threaten everything she has fought for, she must make a choice between her past and future—but the wrong move could cost Beatriz everything—not just the island she loves, but also the man who has stolen her heart...
I am still in love with this series. Cleeton has done such an incredible job blending family drama and romance with history. I expected Beatriz to have an incredible story, and she did. Beatriz made some really interesting decisions throughout her life, but she also accomplished so many incredible things. I won't lie and say that one big decision left me heartbroken, but wow! Cleeton made it up to me with that present-day timeline.
I am definitely looking forward to reading each and every Perez woman's story.
