Lies and Weddings

 
　　前香港名模之子、未來的Gresham伯爵—Rufus Leung Gresham遇到了問題：Gresham家族的信託基金在這幾十年來的揮霍下，早已被掏空。在一篇篇的雜誌報導和IG貼文中，那些莊園和遊艇的背後，根本是連綿不盡的債務高臺。他的母親認為唯一出路，就是利用自己女兒舉行豪華婚禮的機會，讓兒子趕快找個名媛結婚。這場婚禮在夏威夷的頂級生態度假村舉行，邀請了來自全球的名人富豪，是Rufus找長期飯票的絕佳機會。
 
　　他該娶Solène de Courcy嗎？這個法國飯店世家的繼承人，擁有一頭亮麗的金髮，和皇家貴族的血統。還是他該追求Martha Dung這位風險投資天才，她經手數十億美元，就像在發糖果一樣輕鬆。或是他乾脆追隨自己的本心，放棄拯救家族的使命，去向鄰家女孩般的Eden Tong表明自己的愛意？當火山噴發，燒毀了這場婚禮，隨之而來的熱風也將所有秘密幽會揭露於眾，使得Gresham家族的計畫和名聲都一起付之一炬。Rufus是否能重建家族的威信？深藏廿年的悲傷歷史，又會帶來什麼樣的驚人轉折？(文／博客來外文館)

　　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?
