ENTER THE WORLD OF UPTOWN
Uptown . . . where money rules
Uptown . . . where ambition trumps tradition
Uptown . . . where politics come before everything
Uptown . . . where a family's secrets will bring them together--or
down
After twenty years away, Avery Lyons returns to New York when her
mother and uncle suffer a serious car accident. The tragedy brings
the family together, but Avery is not happy about the impromptu
reunion. She no longer recognizes the Harlem of her childhood, but
the same old family dynamics and secrets are all too familiar . . .
Heir to a real estate empire, Dwight is willing to do anything to
realize his aging and demanding father's dream: Dixon Plaza, a
luxury high-rise development on Central Park North that will change
the face of Harlem forever. There's only one thing in his way: his
cousin Avery has inherited a share of the property. She's more than
willing to sell until a reporter uncovers the truth behind the
rumored shady dealings . . .
In "Uptown "a prominent Harlem family is strained to the breaking
point by the high-stakes world of the Manhattan real estate
industry, and one woman searches for her identity and the will to
forgive. Steamy, provocative, and sexy, "Uptown "is a turbulent and
triumphant read.
