Salsa on Fire

About the Book

It is September 2001. David Steele is thirty-eight, handsome, and a failure in his personal life. After two unsuccessful marriages and two children, he is still searching for the answer to his perpetual womanizing, with help from a therapist in Venice Beach, California. Now as he arrives in South Beach, Miami, to meet the heads of a large ballroom dancing organization and help organize an hour-long Salsa extravaganza to air on national television, David has one important goal: to be celibate for thirty days. But what he does not realize is that attaining his goal may be more challenging than he ever imagined.
On his first night in SoBe during an impromptu Mambo dance in the hotel bar, David meets Danny, a knockout who is fifteen years his junior—and married. As he weakly attempts to ward off temptation, a terrorist attack sends the nation into disarray. While David tries to focus on his work, he soon realizes that beginning a relationship with Danny is not only morally wrong, but incredibly dangerous.
Salsa on Fire is the story of lust, intrigue, and murder as a Salsa dancer makes the unsettling discovery that there may be a price to pay for love.
