Dwayne Harper's passion is giving disadvantaged boys the tools to transform themselves into successful men. Unfortunately, the minute he steps up to take his place among the men he considers brothers, two things stand in his way: a political office that does not want the competition Dwayne's new education system will bring, and a well-connected former member of The Castle who will use everything in his power--even those who Dwayne mentors--to shut him down.

Tiffany Mason is harboring a dark secret that can shatter Dwayne's dream, not to mention his heart. While he is everything she could want in a handsome, intelligent, and driven man, her past makes her second guess the acceptance of his recent proposal. But while she's searching for a way to disengage from the best relationship she's ever had, a mutual female friend goes full throttle in an undercover mission to help Dwayne fight those who oppose him. Things become complicated for everyone involved when Tiffany's past becomes part of a blackmail scheme with the ultimate goal of another woman wanting Dwayne all to herself. Now Tiffany wishes she had been honest with Dwayne from day one so she wouldn't become a weapon that could be used against him on more than one level.

One of these women holds the key to Dwayne's success. The other can cause his downfall. Dwayne must choose the right queen, fend off his powerful enemies, and forge toward the success that's due him as a King of the Castle.
