Instant New York Times bestseller!

The Cuban Revolution took everything from sugar heiress Beatriz Perez—her family, her people, her country.

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...
