Crazy Rich Asians

The iconic author of the bestselling phenomenon Crazy Rich Asians returns with a glittering tale of love and longing as a young woman finds herself torn between two worlds--the WASP establishment of her father's family and George Zao, a man she is desperately trying to avoid falling in love with. On her very first morning on the jewel-like island of Capri, Lucie Churchill sets eyes on George Zao and she instantly can't stand him. She can't stand it when he gallantly offers to trade hotel rooms with her so that she can have the view of the Tyrrhenian Sea, she can't stand that he knows more about Curzio Malaparte than she does, and she really can't stand it when he kisses her in the darkness of the ancient ruins of a Roman villa and they are caught by her snobbish, disapproving cousin, Charlotte. "Your mother is Chinese so it's no surprise you'd be attracted to someone like him," Charlotte teases. Daughter of an American-born-Chinese mother and blue-blooded New York father, Lucie has always sublimated the Asian side of herself in favor of the white side, and she adamantly denies having feelings for George. But several years later, when George unexpectedly appears in East Hampton where Lucie is weekending with her new fiancé, Lucie finds herself drawn to George again. Soon, Lucy is spinning a web of deceit that involves her family, her fiancé, the co-op board of her Fifth Avenue apartment, and ultimately herself as she tries mightily to deny George entry into her world--and her heart. Moving between summer playgrounds of privilege, peppered with decadent food and extravagant fashion, Sex and Vanity is a truly modern love story, a daring homage to A Room with a View, and a brilliantly funny comedy of manners set between two cultures.

Rufus Leung Gresham, future Duke 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?

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.

Só que Nick não mencionou alguns detalhes, como o fato de sua família ter muito, muitodinheiro, que ela viajaria mais em jatinhosparticulares do que de carro e que caminhar de mãos dadas com um dos solteiros mais ricos da Ásia era como ter um alvo nas costas. Logo, Rachel percebe que não será poupada das fofocas e intrigas. Isso sem falar na mãe de Nick, uma mulher com opiniões bem fortes sobre com quem o filho deve – ou não – se casar.

Tiene un diamante sin igual, un vestido de novia de ensueño y un novio que está dispuesto a ignorar a sus entrometidos familiares y a renunciar a su fortuna con tal de casarse con ella. Sin embargo, a Rachel le entristece la ausencia de su padre biológico, al que nunca conoció. Cuando un fortuito accidente le revela su identidad, Rachel se ve inmersa de repente en el fastuoso esplendor de la alta sociedad de Shanghái.

La Boda de Rachel Chu / China Rich Girlfriend

THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR A delicious comedy of manners set on the Big Island of Hawaii, where a decadent wedding serves as the elaborate rouse for a romantic scheme, and an unexpected affair erupts volcanically in the midst Auggie and Maxxi are getting married and if they had any say in it, this low-key couple would celebrate barefoot in Bali. But unfortunately for them, Auggie was born Lady Augusta Gresham, daughter of a Hong Kong It-Girl and a British duke, and Maxxi was born Prince Maximillian zu Willemsson, heir to a Norwegian oil fortune, and so their wedding, a veritable who's-who of sultans, barons, and oligarchs, will be held at the family property in Kona, and the bride, like all the great Princesses before her, will wear Valentino-with not a bare foot in sight. Every detail of the affair, from the yacht whale watching to the ice palace atop Mauna Kea to the wine tasting amid former Hawaiian ruins, has been designed with one sole purpose-no, not to celebrate the happy couple--but to make one very eligible, very pedigreed Princess Paloma de Courcy fall in love with Auggie's surfer-photographer brother. But unfortunately, Rufus Gresham, future Earl of Greshambury, has eyes for someone else, and when a pregnancy test reveals an after-hours tryst, family emotions flare with a heat that would rival Pele, Hawaiian God of fire. An outrageous comedy of manners about family, money, sex, and the lies we tell about the three, Lies and Weddings is a joyful return from one of our greatest social satirists.

Sequência do best-seller internacional que conquistou milhões de leitores no mundo todo. Depois de descobrir que seu lindo namorado, um simples professor de história da Universidade de Nova York, é, na verdade, o herdeiro de uma das famílias mais ricas de Cingapura e de sobreviver a todas as tentativas orquestradas pela mãe dele, a poderosa Eleanor Young, para tentar separá-los, Rachel Chu acha que, agora, está preparada para qualquer coisa. Ah, ela não poderia estar mais enganada... Às vésperas de seu casamento com Nick, ela recebe a visita de um homem que sempre sonhou conhecer: seu próprio pai. Isso acaba arrastando o casal para um mundo capaz de deixar até o herdeiro de uma das maiores fortunas da Ásia de queixo caído. Em Xangai, eles conhecem a realidade dos novos-ricos, que, ao contrário dos chineses do continente, cuja fortuna vem sendo acumulada e multiplicada ao longo de várias gerações, não têm o menor pudor em ostentar. De uma hora para a outra, viajar de jatinhos particulares pela Ásia não era nada perto do Boeing 747-8i privativo no qual, em vez de quatrocentos assentos, há uma sala de cirurgia equipada com uma UTI e um lago de carpas! Em Namorada podre de rica, a aguardada continuação do best-seller que conquistou milhões de fãs no mundo inteiro e que foi adaptado para o cinema, Kevin Kwan narra, com seu humor satírico e perspicaz, uma história onde (quase) nada é inventado e nos faz mergulhar no mundo glamoroso e inacreditável das pessoas mais ricas da China.
