Brief Description:
A TIME MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK * From the iconic internationally bestselling
author of the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy: A forbidden affair erupts
volcanically amid a decadent tropical wedding in this outrageous comedy of
manners from the iconic author of Crazy Rich Asians. Rufus Leung Gresham,
future Earl of Greshambury and son of a former Hong Kong supermodel has a
problem: the legendary Gresham Trust has been depleted by decades of
profligate spending, and behind all the magazine covers and Instagram
stories manors and yachts lies nothing more than a gargantuan mountain of
debt. The only solution, put forth by Rufus’s scheming mother, is for Rufus
to attend his sister’s wedding at a luxury eco-resort, a veritable
who’s-who of sultans, barons, and oligarchs, and seduce a woman with money.
Should he marry Solène de Courcy, a French hotel heiress with honey blond
tresses and a royal bloodline? Should he pursue Martha Dung, the tattooed
venture capital genius who passes out billions like lollipops? Or should he
follow his heart, betray his family, squander his legacy, and finally
confess his love to the literal girl next door, the humble daughter of a
doctor, Eden Tong? When a volcanic eruption burns through the nuptials and
a hot mic exposes a secret tryst, the Gresham family plans–and their
reputation–go up in flames. Can the once-great dukedom rise from the
ashes? Or will a secret tragedy, hidden for two decades, reveal a shocking
twist? In a globetrotting tale that takes us from the black sand beaches of
Hawaii to the skies of Marrakech, from the glitzy bachelor pads of Los
Angeles to the inner sanctums of England’s oldest family estates, Kevin
Kwan unfurls a juicy, hilarious, sophisticated and thrillingly plotted
story of love, money, murder, sex, and the lies we tell about them all.
