La Cresenta Library Book Club meets on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm.
\n"Rufus Leung Gresham\, futur e Earl of Greshambury and son of a former Hong Kong supermodel has a probl em: the legendary Gresham Trust has been depleted by decades of profligate spending\, and behind all the magazine covers and Instagram stories manor s and yachts lies nothing more than a gargantuan mountain of debt. The onl y 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 su ltans\, barons\, and oligarchs\, and seduce a woman with money. Should he marry Solè\;ne de Courcy\, a French hotel heiress with honey blond t resses and a royal bloodline? Should he pursue Martha Dung\, the tattooed venture capital genius who passes out billions like lollipops? Or should h e 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 a nd a hot mic exposes a secret tryst\, the Gresham family plans-and their r eputation-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 twi st? In a globetrotting tale that takes us from the black sand beaches of H awaii to the skies of Marrakech\, from the glitzy bachelor pads of Los Ang eles 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"-- P rovided by publisher.
