Crown Jewel: A Novel

"Handsome, rich, and adored by millions, Ricky Lam was a golden boy--with a dark side. The substance-addicted superstar had hit rock bottom, but luckily, his business manager and older brother, Philip, forced him into a rehab clinic--a move that created an irreparable rift between them. Years later, however, when tragedy strikes, Ricky dedicates himself to Philip's dream: constructing a unique resort in South Carolina called the Crown Jewel. Stepping into his brother's shoes, Ricky encounters unsettling surprises, one of which is an amazing woman, his sister-in-law Roxy, who leads him to the mystery at the center of his brother s life...and into a passionate love affair. As Ricky attempts to discover the brother he loved but never truly knew, he must settle a grave injustice committed decades ago--even if it means risking his fame, his fortune, and his heart."--
