FRED by Robert Hilfinger

Fred Munroe is a newly minted college graduate from Missouri. While looking to build his future, Fred follows his college sweetheart to Boston, where she lives with her wealthy parents; parents that demand their daughter marry a boy of their choosing. And this boy is not Fred Munroe. A handsome and charming overachiever, Fred figures he can win over the minds and affections of his girlfriend's parents. What he does not figure on is the ruthless and conniving nature of his girlfriend's mother and father. These parents are not Ward and June Cleaver. And there is nothing they will not do, to rid themselves of the irritant that is the boy from Missouri. Nothing.
