In Depression-era Key West, Mariella Bennet, the daughter of
an American fisherman and a Cuban woman, knows hunger. Her
struggle to support her family following her father’s death
leads her to a bar and bordello, where she bets on a risky
boxing match...and attracts the interest of two men:
world-famous writer, Ernest Hemingway, and Gavin Murray, one
of the WWI veterans who are laboring to build the Overseas
Highway.
When Mariella is hired as a maid by Hemingway’s second wife,
Pauline, she enters a rarified world of lavish,
celebrity-filled dinner parties and elaborate off-island
excursions. As she becomes caught up in the tensions and
excesses of the Hemingway household, the attentions of the
larger-than-life writer become a dangerous temptation...even
as straightforward Gavin Murray draws her back to what
matters most. Will she cross an invisible line with the
volatile Hemingway, or find a way to claim her own dreams?
As a massive hurricane bears down on Key West, Mariella
faces some harsh truths...and the possibility of losing
everything she loves.
