Havana, October 1962. Thirteen days that almost ended the world.
Elena Vidal is a Cuban intelligence analyst who has spent four years serving a revolution she no longer fully believes in. She walks past the hospital where her brother died every morning. She has never told anyone why.
Daniel Marsh is an American journalist who has been lying to everyone in Havana since the day he arrived. He stopped filing intelligence reports three months ago. He has not told anyone that either.
When Elena is assigned to monitor Daniel during the most dangerous thirteen days of the Cold War, what begins as a professional surveillance operation becomes something neither of them can control - or afford.
She is watching him. He is watching the missiles. And the clock is running out for both of them.
In a city where bread lines grow longer every morning and government broadcasts play the same words on repeat, Elena and Daniel discover that the most dangerous act available to two people on opposite sides of a nuclear crisis is not espionage.
It's trust.
The Havana Protocol is the first book in the Cold War Hearts series - a four-book historical romance saga set against the most dangerous crises of the 20th century. Each book follows one couple. Each book stands alone. Each book satisfies completely.
For readers of The Nightingale, The Bronze Horseman, and All the Light We Cannot See.
Thirteen days. Two sides. One choice that history will never record.
