Maricelis: 11 Nights in Havana : iUniverse : 9780595400454 : 0595400450 : 02 Jul 2006 : It is one of these things you think will never happen to you: to fall deeply in love with a prostitute. But Maricelis is no ordinary prostitute. She is a beautiful, 18-year old Cuban "jockey-girl" who wants the best for herself even amidst her dire circumstances. Hector is no ordinary man either; he is a philosopher, a deep empathizer and a sex maniac, all in one. When he lays eyes on her for the first time, he knows that he shall be under her brutal spell for as long as the Gods bid it. Hector is never in charge; she always is. The only minor advantage that he's got is being aware of his powerlessness. Yet, he is determined to show her that his love is no sex game. When he set off for present-day Cuba, he was a prince in every way. But when the time comes to go back home, one of his burning questions is whether his wife will take him back. You see, Hector is incapable of lying.
