Fighting the Pull

About the book

Hale Wheeler came into billions of dollars thanks to his father. Instead of indulging in a life of luxury, he has made it his mission to use his resources to make the world a better place. With his dedication to his cause, he doesn't have time for romantic relationships.

However, there is a deeper reason behind his aversion to love. Hale has not fully dealt with the pain of losing his father or the aftermath of his parents' divorce. He is determined not to repeat his father's mistakes and hurt a woman in a way that can never be repaired, so he swears off marriage.

Despite his reservations, Hale finds himself intrigued by Elsa Cohen, a driven journalist who has been covering his renowned family in the media. He tries to push her away, but she proposes a deal - she will back off in exchange for an exclusive interview.

Elsa, too, is devoted to her career but longs for love, a family, and a life with someone like the handsome and compassionate Hale Wheeler. As they clash over their feelings, both refuse to acknowledge the undeniable chemistry between them. Yet, once they come to terms with their attraction, Elsa finds herself falling for the charismatic philanthropist.

Meanwhile, Hale is torn between his growing feelings for Elsa and his fear of causing her pain. He knows that getting involved with her could lead to heartache for both of them.
