Synopsis:

Delivery package handler Ellis Bethea does not foresee what the ramifications of his one-night stand with a female co-worker will hold for three women. Author, library clerk, and former prostitute Sondra Rockmond thinks that her May-December romance with Ellis is solid as a rock but is totally oblivious to his sexual fluency with other women. Her best friend, Janine Morrow, is a radio gossip personality who loves to dish the dirt about Black and Latino celebrities in the ghetto entertainment world but would freak out if her fans and listeners knew about her loveless marriage to impotent football hero and entrepreneur Malik, her sexually satisfying nights with handsome father-in-law Grant, her one-time tryst with Ellis, and her questionable past. Charlotte Rockmond is Sondra's estranged daughter who shakes her booty at a ghetto strip club as Charlie Girl. Seeing a rare opportunity to be loved and accepted by her mother, Charlotte plans to entrap Ellis but finds herself getting trapped in his sexual web. HIDDEN FIRES is a scandalous roller coaster which proves that certain secrets may be kept in the dark but will eventually see the light of day.



Independent Reviews:

"HIDDEN FIRES" was one of those books that you won't want to put down. It will have you constantly turning the pages to find out what happen next, and will keep you on the edge of your seats. The characters are so well defined and easy to follow which makes this book so enjoyable to read.

Author Donald Peebles concocted a sexually provocative story that was very well written and still held my attention from the very first time of reading it until now. You will not be disappointed; it's just one of those books you could read over and over again. I highly recommended this novel to all avid readers especially book clubs.

This book was a page turner. Once I started to read it I could not put the book down. It took 2 days to read because it was so good. I could not even sleep because I had to know what happened next. The characters were spicy just like I like them. The book was awesome. Donald, you did your thing with this one. I'm thirsty for part 2. Hurry up I can't wait.
