Book Description Book One

Sebastian Reed built his life on control—on keeping the past contained. Everything else is noise.

As CTO of Reed Tech, he’s responsible for securing the Aldrich Pharmaceuticals contract—the deal that will determine whether the company survives. The system he’s tasked with evaluating is clean. Structured. Logical. And wrong. Not broken. Not exposed. Designed to hide something he can’t quite define.

Before he can make sense of it, Sebastian finds himself on someone else’s radar. A covert group already investigating Aldrich doesn’t need his insight—they need his access.

Now, caught between the deal he needs to win and a situation he doesn’t fully understand, Sebastian is forced to question the system, the people around him, and finally face the past he’s spent years keeping contained.

Writer Bio

Meet K. L. Leke

Characters worth knowing, relationships worth investing in, and suspense that keeps the pages turning.

K. L. Leke, that’s me. I write the kinds of stories I want to experience, stories filled with characters worth knowing, relationships worth investing in, and enough action and suspense to keep the pages turning.

A longtime romance reader and fan of ensemble action thrillers, I approached my first novel with a simple idea: write something I would want to watch. For me, writing starts with the characters and stories already taking shape in my head. That’s another way of saying I have voices in my head.

I approach my characters almost like an actor approaches a role, stepping into their perspective and trying to feel their reactions as they happen. I’m not writing to deliver a larger message. I’m not that deep. I just want to tell stories readers can genuinely enjoy, with characters they can care about along the way.

My debut novel, The Prototype, is the first book in The Prototype Series.

Outside of writing, I’m a software engineer, and I’ve spent my career building things, solving problems, and turning ideas into something real.
