The Price of Proximity follows a private chef working inside the intimate world of a billionaire family. As he becomes increasingly trusted, he begins to realize that the closeness he spent his life chasing may offer access to power, but not the belonging he truly yearns for.

Inside the controlled rhythms of a private compound, loyalty and usefulness carry their own quiet currency. The deeper he moves into the family’s world, the more he confronts an unsettling truth: access is not the same as acceptance.

Elegant and perceptive, The Price of Proximity is a novel about class, ambition, and the quiet distance between access and belonging.
