But one personβs paradise can be anotherβs prison, and Key West-native Helen Berner yearns to escape.
The Cuban Revolution of 1933 left Mirta Perezβs family in a precarious position. After an arranged wedding in Havana, Mirta arrives in the Keys on her honeymoon. While she canβt deny the growing attraction to the stranger sheβs married, her new husbandβs illicit business interests may threaten not only her relationship, but her life.
Elizabeth Preston's trip from New York to Key West is a chance to save her once-wealthy family from their troubles as a result of the Wall Street crash. Her quest takes her to the camps occupied by veterans of the Great War and pairs her with an unlikely ally on a treacherous hunt of his own.
Over the course of the holiday weekend, the womenβs paths cross unexpectedly, and the danger swirling around them is matched only by the terrifying force of the deadly storm threatening the Keys.
