When We Left Cuba

Beatriz Perez was always the wild one when the family lived in Cuba. Now living in Florida after the Cuban Revolution, Beatriz is more reckless than before. In When We Left Cuba by Chanel Cleeton, the 1960s was a tumultuous time in Florida for Cubans forced from their country by Castro.

She knows how much her family sacrificed - their home, their sugar business, their country and most of all her beloved twin brother. Aching for revenge, she is the perfect candidate to be recruited by the CIA. It's the height of the Cold War and the U.S government doesn't want a Communist base located 90 miles south of Florida, so they recruit Beatriz to infiltrate Castro's inner circle.

Castro has always had a fondness for attractive, young women and Beatriz suits that description perfectly bringing her own brand of recklessness with her. Brash to a fault, Beatriz tries to capture Fidel's eye in Cuba while dazzling a soon-to-be engaged rising star young Senator.

Playing a dangerous game that could jeopardize her family even in Florida, Beatriz blatantly begins a

public affair with Senator Nick Preston III while pursuing her plan for revenge against Castro. Preston tries to convince her to give up her raging anger, but she is not to be dissuaded and sets off to Havana to join Castro's inner circle.

A lush, gorgeous story of revenge, lust, love and justice rolled into the lives of the American privileged class and the once-upon-a-time Cuban privileged class.
