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. \nShould 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. \nCan the once-great dukedom rise from the ashes? Or will a secret tragedy\, hidden for two decades\, reveal a shocking twist? \nIn 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. \nAbout the Author:\nKEVIN KWAN is the author of Crazy Rich Asians\, the international bestselling novel that has been translated into 40 languages. Its sequel\, China Rich Girlfriend\, was released in 2015\, and Rich People Problems\, the final book in the trilogy\, followed in 2017. For several weeks in 2018\, the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy commanded the top three positions of the New York Times bestseller list – an almost unprecedented single-author trifecta\, and the film adaptation of Crazy Rich Asians became Hollywood’s highest-grossing romantic comedy in over a decade. Sex and Vanity\, his most recent novel\, hit the New York Times bestseller list in its first week of release and is being adapted into a feature film by Sony Pictures. Kevin has been named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. \nAbout the Moderator:\nWriter\, mother\, and reluctant socialite Asha Elias lives with her family in Miami Beach\, Florida. She graduated from the University of Miami with a degree in print journalism\, and worked at Ocean Drive magazine. Pink Glass Houses\, her Miami-based debut novel\, comes out in July.
