Still Waters. The Elevation Series, #3

Kingston Daley is exactly where he said he would be. Kingston Daley Enterprises. Multiple holdings. A name that means something real in Atlanta. The empire he was told a man like him had no business building is thriving - and it is entirely his. Then comes Naomi Clarke. An architect with the kind of quiet brilliance that Kingston did not expect to find himself completely undone by. She is patient where others rushed, direct where others danced, and brave enough to love a man who is still learning how to receive it.
But Kingston has been hiding something. For months, the fatigue, the blood tests, the numbers his doctor keeps watching with careful eyes - he has managed it the way he manages everything: with discipline, protocol, and silence. He tells himself he is protecting the people around him. He tells himself he will say something when there is something worth saying. What he cannot see is that the distance he creates to protect people is the very thing that breaks them.
Still Waters is a story about the still, dangerous place between pride and self-destruction - and the moment a man finally understands that the people who love him needed his honesty far more than his strength. Book 3 of The Elevation Series by Vivienne Ashcroft.
