Rufus Leung Gresham\, future Earl of Gresh ambury and son of a former Hong Kong supermodel\, has a problem: his famil y fortune\, the legendary Gresham Trust\, has been depleted by decades of profligate spending. While magazine covers and Instagram stories display i mpeccably designed manors and shiny new yachts\, the secret reality holds nothing more than a gargantuan mountain of debt. The only solution\, put f orth by Rufus&rsquo\;s scheming mother\, is for Rufus to seduce a woman wi th money\, thereby securing the family's precarious financial future.
\ nShould he marry Solè\;ne 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 lollipop s? 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?
\nWhen the Gresham family descend s on the Big Island of Hawaii to host a veritable who's who of sultans\, b arons and oligarchs for the wedding of the decade\, Rufus must merely flex his famous abs to bewitch the heiress of his choice. But instead\, a hot mic exposes a secret tryst\, a volcanic eruption burns through the nuptial s and the Gresham family's plans&mdash\;and their reputation&mdash\;go up in flames.
\nCan the once-great earldom rise from the ashes? Or will a secret tragedy\, hidden for two decades\, reveal a shocking twist? Span ning the black sand beaches of Hawaii\, the red city of Marrakech\, the Lo s Angeles bachelor pad of a billionaire playboy and the inner sanctum of E ngland&rsquo\;s oldest family estate\, \;Lies and Weddings \;< /em>reveals an enthralling family saga that is as scandalous and satirical as it is full of heart.
