Christian Dismas has two job offers. One is at a small firm where he can have a comfortable life with his college girlfriend. The other is Fentz Underwood & Tuohy, the most prestigious BigLaw firm in the region. He chooses prestige.

Now he's a first-year associate billing twenty-five-hundred hours a year, working for impossible partners, measuring his life in six-minute increments. His relationship is unraveling. He doesn’t know who he can trust at the firm. Partnership is seven years away, if he lasts that long. Then he meets Stan Amanguso, a new partner—charismatic with an intimidating personality and a multimillion-dollar book of business—who promises to take Christian away from all of that and make him richer than he could have ever imagined—but will he lose himself in the process?

The Reasonable Prudent Man is about the person you dream of becoming and the one you become along the way.
