The Price of a Promise (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781965182062)

Their love never stood a chance...

Axel Fairchild is the eternal outsider, both in his elite MBA program and in the world of NYC finance. Powering through on charm, swagger, and smarts has always worked for him-and it's poised to pay off in a big way as he prepares to launch his very own finance business with his brothers after graduation. There's only one thing left on his to-do list: prying the love of his life, Cora Margulis, away from her controlling and manipulative family.

Cora loves Axel's brash confidence and the way he turns her privileged world upside down. He's a breath of fresh air in the stuffy, elite enclave she's lived in her entire life. As she approaches the end of her MBA program and her father pressures her to join the ranks of their realty empire, Cora can see her escape hatch. The future beyond the luxurious world she's always known scares her, but with Axel at her side, she knows they can create the future of their dreams- together.

But the Margulis family is famous for bending people to their will behind closed doors. The closer Axel and Cora inch to graduation, the more oppressive the pressure grows from Cora's family to choose the right path. The only thing standing in the way of Cora and Axel's happily-ever-after is Allan Margulis. And he won't stop until he gets Cora in his back pocket and Axel is a ruined wreck.
