Rise Of The King (Checkmate #5)
Emilia Finn

Today, the ID in my wallet says John D. Hamilton. It’s the name I go by, the name the beautiful brunette sitting alone in Ginnie’s diner knows me as.
I was an undercover cop, once. A decorated agent who slid from my throne and descended into a world of pain and darkness.
Then came Sophia Solomon, the light in my dark, the miracle who walks past my door and lends a little warmth in the dead of winter.
Sophia‘s beauty steals the breath from my lungs. She draws me in just by existing, but she doesn’t know my secrets.
I wasn’t born with the first name John, but then again, I wasn’t born a cocaine addict either, but here we are and both are true.
Now I’m on a mission to find the man that had me killed.
Rise Of The King is a Checkmate Series suspenseful romance. It’s a compete standalone and has no cliffhanger. New readers can start here. But beware, not everything is as it seems.
