Harper ’ s

Court

Three women from completely different ethnicities , backgrounds , and social economical status , first laid eyes on each other at a doctor ’ s office . An unfortunate chain of events brewing in the background causes them to become stuck in an elevator in an upscale building in downtown New York . As they ’ re waiting to be rescued , the hot-headed Latina , ivory-skinned CEO , and gorgeous Black woman with an illicit lifestyle , began to discuss things they thought would forever stay a secret . Soon , they discover that they all do have one thing in common — one person in their lives that needs to be eliminated .
Hours later , they settled into a hotel room to discuss some hard truths and even harder details as they come up with a plan they believe will work . Each of them will draw a name of their intended targets without any one of them knowing who was chosen . Now the three women are responsible for taking care of a total stranger ’ s problems in such a way that neither one of them will get caught . Unfortunately , bad intentions will have their own challenges and the women are forced to learn who they can trust and one decides to renege on the deal when it is much too late .
Donna Hill is known for sizzling romance , but this one was a different kind of heat . I was hooked from the very beginning , and the story line and the suspense woven into to the plot kept me guessing until the very end . Highly recommended .
