[Four Kings Security 04] • Diamond in the Rough

_When the cards are stacked against you, the Kings will even the odds._

For Ward “King” Kingston the role of protector, forged by fire and tragedy, is

one he takes seriously. When King is asked to safeguard the son of a four-star

general and friend, he is pulled back into the world of government black ops

on a mission that raises painful memories from his past. The moment King meets

Leo, amid the chaos of a lockdown at a secret black site, it’s clear he’s

never faced a challenge like this—one that will test his unwavering sense of

control.

Leopold de Loughrey is a misunderstood genius whose anxiety and insecurities

are sent into overdrive when he is forcefully recruited to work on a top-

secret project. Terrified of what his role as "invaluable asset" means, Leo’s

stress leads to disappearances, arguments, and blowups that threaten the

project and Leo’s future. King’s arrival is a calm in the storm for Leo and

his frenetic thoughts.

King and Leo couldn’t be more different, yet as they navigate the dangers of a

secret multi-agency operation and face unknown threats, their differences

could be what saves them. Neither man believes a happily ever after is in the

cards, but their hearts might just prove them wrong… if they can survive a

deadly betrayal.
