King of Lawndale, Kings of the Castle

Dwayne Harper’s passion is giving disadvantaged boys the tools to transform themselves into successful men. But when he steps up to take his place among The Kings of the Castle—the men he considers brothers—politics and personalities clash, conspiring against him.

Tiffany Mason harbors a dark secret that can shatter Dwayne’s ultimate dream, not to mention the depths of his heart. While Dwayne is everything she could want in a handsome, intelligent, and driven man, details from her past have her doubting she’s worthy of his marriage proposal. Complicating matters are new accusations against Dwayne, testing his dedication to his cause.

Enter a female acquaintance who's determined to help Dwayne persevere, but her methods are questionable. She uses blackmail to achieve her goals—leveraging Tiffany’s scandalous past in her jealousy-driven war chest. Exposed to Dwayne in this insidious manner, Tiffany has no recourse, and can only hope Dwayne chooses her as his queen for life.

One woman holds the key to his success; the other will guide him to the cliff of his downfall. It will be the full test of Dwayne Harper’s character to discern the difference—and claim his due success as a King of The Castle.
