520    "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"--|cProvided by publisher.
