WHEN WE LEFT CUBA

Follow up novel to Next Year In Havana. Since her family fled Cuba for Florida after Fidel Castro's rise to power, sugar heiress Beatriz Perez has made waves in Palm Beach society. Despite her popularity and her new life, she is determined to avenge the death of her twin brother at the hands of Castro. When she is recruited by the CIA to seduce and kill the Revolutionary leader, Beatriz embarks on a life of danger and intrigue that could destroy everything she holds dear.

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...
