From the bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians comes an impossibly glamorous, globetrotting satire of bedhopping and scheming, as the debt-ridden future Duke of Greshambury sets out to seduce a wealthy woman and solve all his money woes.
Rufus Leung Gresham, future Duke of Greshambury and son of a former Hong Kong supermodel, is drowning in debt. The only solution, according to his scheming mother, is for him to attend his sister’s wedding and seduce a woman with money.
Will it be the French hotel heiress with a royal bloodline? Or the venture capital genius who passes out billions like lollipops? Or will Rufus betray his family and confess his love to the literal girl next door? 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.
Taking us from the sand beaches of Hawaii to the skies of Marrakech, from the glitzy bachelor pads Los Angeles to the inner sanctums of England’s oldest family estates, Kevin Kwan has written a juicy, hilarious and sophisticated tale of love, money, murder, sex, and the lies we tell about them all.
