Trouble in Rio - (Family Business) by Carl Weber & M T Pope (Paperback)

About the Book

Cutting family ties to start over in Baltimore, Rio Duncan finds unexpected trouble in the inner circle of a heartbroken drug lord before he is forced to make a desperate escape.

Book Synopsis

Rio Duncan's personality and flair instantly gain him popularity in Baltimore, but violence erupts, and all eyes are on him. Now he's got a target on his back. Did he inherit any of the ruthless traits of the other Duncan men? Will the most colorful Duncan son get out of Baltimore and back home safe and sound now that he's on his own?

Rio Duncan is one of the youngest children of the infamous Duncan clan. With no solid position in the family business like his other siblings, he has been feeling out of place and decides to disappear. His destination is Baltimore, and he's sure to find what he's looking for in the city with a community like no other. There, he finds new friends, a new love interest, and he also finds unexpected trouble.

Corey Grant has his hands full with an inherited drug empire, a complicated relationship with his incarcerated father, and secret desires that could make him appear weak to his enemies. Someone has declared a street war, and he's at odds with his business partner, Dre, on how to handle it. Could it be Pierre, their client-turned-competition? Does this have anything to do with the sudden appearance of the mysterious newcomer named Rio?

Diana Black is Corey's girlfriend-for-hire, and although she has a taste for bad boys, someone else has her attention. She is loyal to Corey's cause, but how long will that last?
