The Family Business 6

Carl Weber and La Jill Hunt continue the Family Business series with a story centered on love, money, power, and respect. Five years ago, Orlando Duncan created HEAT, a drug that earned the Duncans over two hundred and fifty million dollars. Production stopped when the drug was found to cause cancer in rats, despite its profitability. When Orlando discovers his old lab has been robbed—computers, equipment, notes, and over a million tabs of HEAT stolen—he faces a crisis, as he had promised his family he would destroy the remaining supply. Dr. Brandi Richardson is a talented research chemist whose tendency to cut corners resulted in her dismissal from Dow Chemicals and DuPont. She now works as a CVS clerk, but her circumstances are about to shift dramatically. Billionaire Alexander Cora, known as the Moor, runs Cora International, a publicly traded EU defense contractor that fronts for one of the world's largest weapons, drugs, and illegal contraband smuggling operations. He has targeted the Duncan family for reasons unknown. Niles Monroe, a handsome hit man and Paris Duncan's former love, has returned from the dead and will soon seek her out. These powerful figures are set on a collision course with uncertain outcomes.
