About this ebook

Before there was the family, there was just the business.

From the minds of New York Times bestselling authors Carl Weber and Eric Pete comes the game-changing prequel to their blockbuster Family Business saga. Travel back to a small Southern town where, before there was Duncan Motors, there were the Duncan brothers: Louis, aka Sweet Lou, a lover of ladies and life . . . and a man you did not want to cross; Lawrence, aka Larry, a screw-up as attracted to trouble as it was to him; and Lavernius, better known as LC, the soft-spoken college boy who simply wanted to sell cars.

But the Duncan brothers weren’t alone at the crossroads. There was also the mysterious and seductive Chippy, a woman who saw a way out of her circumstances and dared to take it.

Witness what changed the course of their lives when ambitions intersected with opportunity that came calling one day in the form of a man named Alejandro Zuniga. Welcome to the familiar, but as you’ve never seen it before.

Ratings and reviews

Another excellent read by Mr. C Dub!! It was great to see how the Duncan Family got its start. I love the characters with their perfectly imperfect flaws.

This book was awesome. It was nice to connect the dots between "Family business" and "Grand opening"! I can't wait to hear more what happened to Larry, Big Shirley, Levi, and NeeNee because they aren't in the first three novels. I would like to know what happens to them.

Every book in this series has made me want to come back for more, and this Is no exception! Absolutely loved this book! Can't wait for the next installment!
