Based on a true story, Isla Vulnerable—an Instant Bestseller—tells the story of how a poor farm boy named Victor Gomez transforms into a US spy, while falling for the very public Sarita Rodriguez at the height of the Cuban revolution.
Victor wasn’t supposed to be anything more than a farmer. But when he is suddenly orphaned, one of Cuba's most esteemed judges adopts him at the pivotal moment in history when Fidel Castro is overthrowing President Fulgencio Batista and taking control of the island.
When Castro raids his adoptive family’s estate and arrests his father, Victor narrowly escapes by concealing his identity and fleeing to the US. Determined to rescue his father and liberate his homeland, Victor accepts an unconventional, deadly deal with the CIA that exposes him to some of the most sensational moments in US history.
In a whirlwind twist of events, he reunites with a childhood crush, Sarita Rodriguez, whose newfound fame as an actress in New York puts their opposite lives through unimaginable danger.
A cinematic piece first written as a screenplay, Isla Vulnerable delivers the edge-of-your-seat pacing of Jack Ryan with telenova-style high-stakes drama, perfect for fans of historical and political thrillers, international spy mysteries, biographies and documentaries, government conspiracies, and romantic suspense.
