Synopsis
I’m on top of the world while hurtling toward rock bottom. With my life unraveling around me, the only safe way forward is alone…
I’ll do whatever I can to help someone. Your charity needs a million dollars? You’ll have it tomorrow. America’s underprivileged youth in need of new school supplies? Done. After a childhood of loss and financial stress, nobody is more motivated to save the world than me, Damian Fairchild, CTO of Fairchild Enterprises.
So when my best buddy from high school wants me to hire his little sister—the very same curvaceous little sister I fought like hell not to notice as a kid—I can’t tell him no. Of course I say “She’ll start tomorrow,” like the helpful sap I am.
Now that my business is in the crosshairs of the SEC, I’ve got to watch my step, stay alert. So Jessa Walton’s incomparable hotness is a distressing distraction. Not to mention the knack she’s got for drawing me out of my shell. She doesn’t understand that the idea of us—together—has “NO!” written all over it. She wants all of me, but I don’t give that to anyone.
I can only be a jerk to her for so long, though, before Jessa’s sweet sunshine sets me ablaze. Can you blame me? I’ve been secretly in love with her since my junior year of high school, which makes it easy to break my number one rule – Trust no one and keep your heart out of it.
In the middle of so much stress and uncertainty, I should know better than to enjoy a ray of sunshine. Sunny days never last. When the heat from the investigation turns up and my empire is rattled by another big blow, I’m questioning whether Jessa is actually a thunderstorm disguised as a cloudless sky.
Giving in to that burning passion has a steep price. Letting down my guard might cost me everything my brothers and I have worked to build.
Billionaires. Bad boys. Bleeding hearts. These outsiders are known as the Bad Boys of Wall Street and every book in the series features glittering Manhattan skyscrapers, swoon-worthy heroes, and a guaranteed HEA.

Review
This book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Ember Leigh!
The Price of Passion is the second book in The Bad Boys of Wall Street series and tells the story of Jessa and Damian.
When I got my hands on The Price of Passion, I was so excited to start reading. I really enjoyed the novella, The Price of a Promise, and the first book, The Price of Revenge, so I was eagerly waiting for the next book to show up on my kindle. And I was so happy for the wait. The Price of Passion was such a well-written and addictive read, I finished this book in one day! I just really wanted to know what was going to happen to our main characters and how they were going to get their happy ending.
I secretly love a lot of Romance tropes, and one of them is Brother’s Best Friend. The Price of Passion is about Jessa and Damian, they’ve known each other since they were kids and they both had a crush on each other. They didn’t know that either of them had a crush on the other person so now they’re adults they finally can explore the feelings they had when they were younger. I really liked that they already knew each other, it made The Price of Passion more interesting. A lot happens between our main characters but they get their happily every after, as they deserve!
The Price of Passion was yet another amazing Romance story by Ember Leigh, and I didn’t expect anything else. Ember Leigh is a talented Romance author and I’ve enjoyed all of her books I’ve read so far. The Price of Passion was such a good read, and I loved reading about Jessa and Damian. I’m really looking forward to reading Trace’ story in The Price of Infamy!
