'I had no real idea how I would get there. I just knew I would go, somehow.'Chris Hilton is middle-aged and broke. He is also in love with a woman twenty years his junior who lives 5,000 miles away. In Cuba. He places an ad in "Private Eye" requesting advice and receives a reply from Paul, resident of a local prison, serving two years for fraud. Paul offers some helpful guidance. Six months later Hilton boards a Cubana flight, direct to Havana. He has GBP 100,000 in an attache case and a similar amount in a Channel Island bank account. Paul will soon follow after his release; they intend to start a travel business together. Yamilia waits in Havana. She is astonishingly beautiful and of volatile temperament. Her enemies, and even some of her friends, think she is unstable, even dangerous. Jose, Hilton's closest friend in Havana, agrees, 'She is a bad woman. Do not stay with her,' he pleads. Hilton disagrees; he's in love, he doesn't see her that way - Yamilia is natural, honest, a force

From the Author:
I'm the author of Caliente, my story of love and trouble from Havana, Cuba. The book recounts my time on the island country at the turn of the millennium. The revolution is well and truly over and Castro reigns supreme.
I fell in love. Not just with a Cuban, but with its people, with its culture and with the life I experienced. It was hectic. It was brutal. It was Havana. Most of all, it was alive!
I still visit Cuba regularly and intend on spending my retirement years on the Malècon of Havana looking out over the bay. (if they'll still have me)

"Hilton's Cuban adventure is like Havana's mojito cocktail, deceptively smooth and tasty, but underneath is a wicked bite. Take a long draught. Arrange for a friend to take you home." ~ John Harrison, author Cloud Road
