Unfortunately, a surge in criminal activity in the Chatham area threatens the women’s anonymity and security, including the mysterious beauty who landed on the doorstep of The Second Chance at Life Women’s Shelter right before an all hands on deck call that summons him to The Castle.
When Zuri Okusanya, an exotic Tanzanian Princess, arrives seeking refuge from an arranged marriage and its deadly consequences, Mariano is now forced to relocate the women in the shelter to an even more secluded place. He is striving hard not to lose his heart to the forbidden goddess, all while fighting an enemy who’s supposed to be an ally and fending off immoral attempts by men who covet his seat on The Castle’s board.
Will Mariano have the power to defeat his adversaries before they destroy him and the woman he loves?

Book two, the Kings of the Castle series, introduces the readers to King Mariano Reno DeLuca, who is the owner and director of the Second Chance at Life Women's Shelter located in the hood. The Second Chance at Life Women's Shelter is a place of refuge for women to restart their lives from devastating circumstances. The Women Shelter offered state of the art facilities and services including apartments and job placement for their clientele.
The book opens with a background story about a Tanzanian goddess named Zuri Okusanya, who sneaks home to attend her beloved mother's funeral. She risks her life due to a bounty placed on her for refusing to participate in a forced marriage. Defying her father's orders and with the help of her mom's inner circle, she returns to Chicago via her student Visa with her father's cronies in tow.
Under the recommendation from her mother, Zuri appeared at the women's shelter seeking safety from her father and Djimon, arranged marriage fiance. Who believes in love at first sight? Reno meets Zuri, and his world changed in a blink of an eye. He felt a strong connection to her, which were against ethics as well as sabotage the shelter. He vowed to protect her at all costs, including disowning someone very close to him. Reno learns someone betrayed him that jeopardize Zuri's life and fueled the criminal behavior at the Castle.
Although this book is separate, the storyline intertwines with the other books thus far. I enjoyed this multicultural romance suspense novel.
