Kingston Marks has known the Pattels for as long as he can remember. His father died unexpectedly when he was only ten years old. Joseph Pattel, his father’s best friend, adopted King and raised and loved him as his own.
The Pattels have an air of respectability they’ve worked hard to create–almost as hard as they fought to remain one of New York City’s top crime families. The elder Pattels laid the groundwork for the next generation, manipulating situations in their favor to gain power, wealth, and prestige. King, his brothers, and cousins are committed to carrying the family to the next level.
The life they lead isn’t for the faint of heart. When King meets Dr. Makayla Webster, he thinks he just may have found the woman to take the journey with him. Makayla is privy to, and accepts, the many intricate sides of the person he has to be in both worlds. What they’ve found is golden.
Every man needs that one special woman who is ready to ride with him when he needs her most. Like chess, the queen is an important piece of the game; she protects her King when things are at their most critical.
But just when they think they’ve succeeded in beating the odds, an almost impossible obstacle is thrown in King and Makayla’s path that will test their love, their families…and their loyalty.
