THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF CRAZY RICH ASIANS
Eden Tong is used to feeling out of place. Growing up next door to Greshamsbury Manor, she spent her days in the shadow of the chilly matriarch Arabella and her children: free-spirited Augie, golden child Bea, and Rufus, Eden's childhood best friend.
When she receives an invite to a luxurious wedding in Hawaii, she finds herself thrown back into the family's orbit: and face-to-face with Rufus. The future Earl is gorgeous, artistic, and - unbeknownst to Eden - desperately in love with her.
But his mother has other plans. Arabella knows the terrible truth - the Greshamsbury family is drowning in debt. Rufus needs to find a match with serious money to keep them afloat. Arabella is prepared to destroy anyone who gets in her way. Including Eden . . .
Lies and Wedding transports its reader from the white-sand beaches of Hawaii to the colourful medinas of Marrakech, via the glitzy bachelor pads of Beverly Hills and opulent English countryside manors. This is a hilarious, juicy, and page-turning story about love and money - and the lies we tell to keep them.
