Contraband
Written by: wordsmith
PAUL WEEKES knows all about poverty, after a harsh childhood spent raising both himself and his younger cousin Mark, who refuses to grow up. He now runs a farm on the island of Xantrope, cultivating ground provisions and marijuana for export, because he refuses to risk a return to the poverty of his past. Things get complicated when the corrupt police officer who facilitates Paul decides he wants a bigger cut of the illicit business. Worse, Mark is involved in a murder and a hit-and-run accident involving the police officer’s niece. Paul has his hands full coping with danger from Mark’s associates, orchestrated attempts to hijack his goods, keeping himself alive and pursing a romantic interest. ******For want of somewhere else to put this, I've termed it Other. It can best be described as Romantic Suspense.
