New Action-Packed Thriller "Christmas in Havana" Explores Love and Loyalties Amidst International Intrigue


Centreville, VA – Christmas in Havana, the gripping third installment of Stephen Hiemstra’s Masquerade series, is now available. Combining political intrigue, action, and romance, Hiemstra’s latest novel dives deep into the complexities of love and loyalty in the face of personal grief and international crisis.

Luke Stevens, a CIA agent working undercover as a pastor, finds himself haunted by his ex-wife’s death as he eulogizes her. Just when Luke is ready to move forward, North Korean law student Ruth Chǔ (Yong Dae Chû) enters his life. She is secretly entangled in a dangerous game of espionage, working as a courier for North Korea’s Reconnaissance General Bureau (RGB) to support her family. Both Luke and Ruth must navigate their complicated pasts and present loyalties, all while international tensions threaten to boil over.

When China’s plan to invade Taiwan comes to light, with Cuba playing a key role in the diversionary attacks, Luke and Ruth are thrown into a whirlwind of danger. The novel raises the stakes with rogue operatives, international betrayal, and a contract placed on Luke’s life. Despite the chaos surrounding them, Luke and Ruth form a bond, quietly supporting each other as they face impossible choices.

Hiemstra’s skillful writing combines fast-paced action with thoughtful character development. Readers are treated to rapid-fire dialogue and a suspenseful plot that turns on a dime, keeping them on the edge of their seats. As Luke and Ruth struggle with their own personal dilemmas, Hiemstra skillfully weaves in commentary on international politics, hinting at larger global consequences and political missteps.
