"Imagine Crazy Rich Asians mated with Saltburn and you've got Lies and Weddings—a heavenly summertime read!"—Plum Sykes, New York Times best-selling author of Bergdorf Blondes
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?

Why does an affluent, suburban college student willingly venture into the criminal world?
Based on actual events from the author’s life, Heat (1973) expounds by weaving rival narratives – one an introspective confession by the narrator, the other a psychological profile by the narcotics detective. Set in the dusk of Motor City’s eminence, Heat (1973) documents the demise of a personal empire in the context of a great city’s looming fall.
Seventeen year old suburban college student, Jo, sells a little cannabis for spending money. But uptown cocaine dealer, Duncan, offers Jo a way to expand his entrepreneurial activity – heat.
Wallet, car keys, thirty-eight: in Jo’s Hyperkinetic mind, the notion conjures visions of the respect that’s eluded him all his life. But does he really need to carry a thirty-eight when he's just small time?
Duncan’s wife, Chantelle, insists he’ll succeed without it. Chantelle’s ambition and intellect are a rare match for his own, which sparks a different kind of heat in Jo. After a wild party, he’s more worried about Duncan than rival weed dealers.
The thirty-eight delivers Jo from competitors and gains him the respect he needs to expand into new products. Like the city around him, Jo feels invincible. But in this mysterious new world, respect precipitates confrontation.
Duncan figures out Jo’s infatuation with Chantelle. Jo’s entrepreneurial rivals conspire to shut down all competition. Jo is forced to reckon with the inevitable. Will he actually pull the trigger if he needs to?
