The Price of Comfort: She had everything she wanted except herself (The Man Who Couldn’t Be Bought #1)

She had everything a woman is supposed to want. The only thing missing was the truth.

Eleanor Vance is a master of the corporate game. With a high-powered consulting career, a flawless diamond on her finger, and a fiancé whose ambition matches her own, she has architected a perfect life. But the foundation is cracking. Her engagement feels more like a merger, and her success is built on compromises that are slowly eating her alive.

When a new assignment sends her to a remote mountain town, she encounters a man who is her complete opposite. Asher is a brilliant, enigmatic developer who lives entirely outside the system. No bank account. No debt. No digital footprint. He’s a ghost in the machine she has spent her life mastering.

His quiet integrity and radical independence challenge everything she believes about value, freedom, and love. Through him, she is introduced to the philosophy of Bitcoin—not as a get-rich-quick scheme, but as an incorruptible code in a world of lies.
As the market crashes and the inflated promises of her own life begin to pop, Eleanor is left with a return to the gilded cage of a life she no longer believes in, or risk everything for a difficult truth and a man who offers nothing but a chance at real freedom.

The Price of Comfort is the gripping first book in The Man Who Couldn’t Be Bought series, a contemporary romance about love, value, and the courage to exit a system built on lies. Perfect for readers who love a powerful emotional saga with big ideas.
