Available in EPUB, MOBI, and PDF formats. Read on your Kindle, phone, tablet, computer and more

He was eighteen days from becoming the most powerful man in New York. He walked away holding the polls that said he'd win. Alex Carter built a media empire from nothing and ran it the only way he knew how: alone, at speed, with his phone face-down at dinner and forty-one saved voicemails from his wife that he has never once played back. His five-year-old son has learned to build a margin for him. "Do you promise," Grant asks, "or do you try?" Then Leena packs a bag, and Alex discovers that the fortress he spent nine years building has no door in it. What follows is four months of unglamorous, badly executed change. A company that finally starts telling him the truth. A son who wants a real promise instead of a soft one. A marriage that comes back slowly, on a Thursday at a time. And then the city asks him to run for mayor. At thirty-one percent and climbing, with a newspaper headline already calling him the new mayor of New York, Alex is offered everything he ever wanted — and his wife hands him back an index card with three conditions written on it, every one of them crossed out. Some victories cost more than they pay.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: "Quick read that gets your attention from the first page." — five-star reader review "The character development of the main character was superb." — Bree "I highly recommend it." — Holly J Ellison "If you're looking for a quick, clean read, this book is it." — Sal ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dr. Rabea Hadi is a board-certified family physician who writes full-length clean fiction for adults and educational nonfiction for younger readers. Twenty years of practice put him in the room with people at the exact moment their lives turned — the diagnosis, the reconciliation, the marriage that held and the one that didn't. What he learned there drives every book he writes: people are rarely destroyed by the disaster they braced for. They are undone by the small, reasonable, well-argued choices they made twenty minutes at a time. Every title he publishes is clean. No profanity, no explicit content, no exceptions. Includes a gift interactive gamebook from the Choose Your Quest series inside.
