Seeing Micah was the best part of my week.

I didn’t sign up for a cooking class as a way to meet men. But my handsome partner made it really hard to remember why I wanted to stay single.

It wasn’t the right time. I had too much else going on. I’d been burned before, and had no desire for it to happen again. They were all reasons that should have been enough to convince me. Still, I couldn’t stop thinking about him.

Then I’m violently attacked, and Micah shows up just in time to save me. Hurt, scared, and still in danger, when he asks me to stay with him for my protection, I agree.

If I’d arrived minutes later, I wouldn’t have saved her.

I’d seen a lot of bad things during my years in the Army, but bursting into Ruby’s apartment to find a man trying to kill her was one of the worst.

Seeing the fear in her eyes and the darkening bruises her attacker left behind filled me with a rage I’ve never felt before. And, in that moment, I knew I’d do anything to protect her. 

As a former Delta Force operator, I have the skills to keep Ruby safe. So it only makes sense to take her home with me. Except the more time I spend with Ruby, the more I fall for her. And the more determined I am to never let her get hurt again.

Keeping Knight is a friends-to-lovers story featuring a wounded but strong heroine, a former Delta Force operator turned K-9 handler, a security team comprised of veterans, found family, forced proximity, hurt/comfort, and plenty of unexpected twists. Can be read as a standalone. HEA guaranteed.

Book Blitz: Echoes of Fortune: Knights of the Golden Circle by David R. Leng

 

Historical Thriller, Conspiracy Thriller, Political Thriller, Action Thriller

Date Published: August 18, 2026

What if the Civil War never truly ended, and no one noticed who is now winning?

A standalone thriller. New readers can start right here.

When Professor Jack Sullivan is asked to decode a cipher from the war's final days, he expects a historical curiosity. Instead, he uncovers a thread Jefferson Davis died protecting, a secret never meant to resurface.

Jack, his fiancée Emma Wilson, and former SEAL Steve Johnson are pulled into a hunt more dangerous than any battlefield. From Washington's archives to the back alleys of New Orleans, from the coast of Mexico to the shadowed ridges of Arkansas, every trail leads deeper into the world of the Knights of the Golden Circle, a brotherhood long believed defunct.

But the Knights didn't disappear. They became patient.

For 160 years they studied what force could never win. They embedded themselves in the institutions Americans trust, and waited for the moment when they wouldn't need to seize power. They would be invited to take it.

Now their heirs have risen. A cartel is running weapons north while a cyberattack probes the power grid, and a senator climbs toward power on the fear both create. Jack begins to realize he was never hunting the treasure. He was being led to it.

Joined by Homeland cyber analyst Priya Patel and hunted by enemies he cannot see, Jack has four days to break a design older than anyone imagined before the trap closes around everyone he loves.

 

"The high-stakes, of-the-moment, infiltrated-America suspense simply does not let up." 

— BookLife by Publishers Weekly

 

Some secrets don't stay buried. They grow roots.

Great for fans of Steve Berry and Clive Cussler.

 

Praise for Echoes of Fortune: Knights of the Golden Circle

 

"One part Jack Reacher, one part Indiana Jones... an impressively entertaining action thriller." 

— Kirkus Reviews ("GET IT")

"Leng lets history press against the present, sometimes like a warning and sometimes like a buried fuse." — Literary Titan

A lifelong resident of Southwestern Pennsylvania, David grew up in the shadow of the same battlefields his characters explore.

Jasper Cartwright has learned to live in the quiet spaces between alarms.

At thirty-six, the firefighter–paramedic of Rescue Truck 3 keeps his head down at Firehouse 99, lets his actions speak for him, and saves his energy for the moments that matter—when lives hang in the balance and trust is everything. He doesn’t chase connection. He survives on loyalty, routine, and the steady brotherhood of the station.

Aurora Brown’s life is built on structure too—lesson plans, early mornings, and the small comforts of her downtown loft. At twenty-eight, she’s independent, dedicated, and used to standing on her own. Until one brutal winter morning, when a blizzard steals control of her car and slams her world into a steel pole.

Jasper is the one who pulls her from the wreckage.

What begins in flashing lights and freezing wind doesn’t end when the sirens fade. As Aurora heals, Jasper finds himself drawn into a life warmer and brighter than the one he’s carefully maintained. And Aurora begins to see the man behind the turnout gear—the one who listens more than he speaks, who carries embers of loss and devotion deep in his chest.

But loving a firefighter means loving someone who runs toward danger, who may not always come home.

In a city forged by fire and winter, Hearts & Embers is a tender, slow-burning romance about quiet courage, second chances, and the kind of love that grows strongest after the flames die down.

Just when Maddie thought she'd found her forever with Dylan, life shattered her world once again. A sudden loss leaves her drowning in grief, and the one person who should be holding her hand through it all, keeps finding excuses to be anywhere else.

But someone else has always been there, she’s just never opened her eyes to see it.

The friend who was quietly relegated to the sidelines is suddenly the one showing up with tissues, staying through the sleepless nights, and helping her piece together a new life. When her life takes an unexpected twist, and Dylan's true colors finally show. Maddie finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about love. Because sometimes the person you're meant to be with isn't the one who promises you the world. It's the one who shows up when your world falls apart.

Maddie realizes that maybe love isn't about the grand gestures. It's about the quiet moments with the man who will stay with you through it all, the good, the bad, and everything in between. Who shows up when you need him without you even asking.

But opening her heart means facing her biggest fear, trusting again when grief has taught her that nothing lasts forever.

Through the darkness of loss and betrayal, Maddie must learn that sometimes the best things come from the most broken places and that love can be the light that guides you home.

The only thing more dangerous than a hidden enemy… is one who steps into the light. She knows the name now.

When the architect of everything finally walked through Andi’s door wearing the face of a solution, Andi smiled and offered coffee.

Now the machine is cornered. Cornered machines don't retreat. They escalate."

The rules have changed. Witnesses disappear. People close to them are targeted — not as warnings, but as eliminations. The threat no longer stays hidden. It reaches into the places they once believed were safe. The gym. The house. The refuge Andi built for kids who had nowhere else to go.

She’s been afraid before. She knows how to do afraid.

But the truth buried in Andi's past will change the fight entirely — because it didn't start where she thought it did.

Luke Woods has one fight left before the title.

Andi Morgan has one chance to burn the machine down.

Survival isn't the goal. It's the bait.

Finish it.

She’s been lied to. So has the whole world.

Seraphine Austen, raised by the Ravellian rebels, has spent her life below, hidden in the shadows after a ruthless regime drove magic wielders and Nulls into hiding below ground. Above, Whitefall, a projected idealistic society, keeps peace and order by practicing law over lore. Gifted with dangerous power, Seraphine has never known independence, instead fiercely protected by her father, the Ravellian leader. Tired of hiding and burning with anger at the injustices above, she’s ready to step into the light and prove herself.

He carries the truth that could change everything.

Tark Lowell is the son of the regime itself. As the Commander of Whitefall’s military forces, he enforces order without mercy and is loyal without question. Burdened by duty and the weight of those he’s sworn to protect, the pressure of it all threatens to expose him.

When Tark captures Seraphine after a mission gone wrong, their meeting creates a chain of events neither anticipated. Ugly truths are exposed, and loyalties fracture, blurring the line between enemy and ally.

Surrounded by deception, Seraphine and Tark must decide whether trusting each other is the greatest risk or their only chance at survival—because how do you trust someone who’s betrayed the only world you’ve ever known?

We’re all traitors in the end.
