Cuba, 1952. Twenty-year-old Ernesto Ruiz is determined to save his family's cigar business by exporting directly to the American market, but he'll need to learn about American customs and lifestyles first. That's why he takes a part-time job at an American guest house. Hank Mannix, a beefcake magazine model, enjoys his carefree life in Havana, where new men come and go every week. But his immediate attraction to the new gardener is different. He’s drawn to the young man in a way he’s never experienced before. A fateful encounter in the garden results in a misunderstanding that upends both their lives. As they begin to acknowledge the true depth of their feelings for each other, they must navigate through a city and country on the brink of revolution. Ernesto and Hank strive to secure their own happiness in a world where the future is uncertain, and their love is forbidden. With vivid historical detail and memorable characters, Havana Bay is a captivating story of love and revolution in a time of change.
