An emotionally charged tale of two very different brothers and the one woman who loved them both and holds the key to a legacy of family secrets.
Ricky Lam had it all - a thriving film career, wealth, fame, and an alcohol problem that was about to destroy him. Luckily, he also had a business manager - his older brother Philip - who forced him into an addiction clinic. But not even the passage of fifteen years and Ricky's rehabilitation can mend the rift that erupted between the brothers.
When tragedy strikes, erasing Ricky's dreams of winning Philip's forgiveness, Ricky resets his priorities. He turns his back on Hollywood, invites his two illegitimate sons into his life, and dedicates himself to his brother's dream - the construction of a unique resort called the Crown Jewel.
But Ricky soon encounters unsettling surprises about his brother, as well as an amazing woman, his sister-in-law Roxy Lam, who leads him to the centre of a family mystery and into an unexpected 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 life.
Written with the keen insight, grace and humour that have made Fern Michaels one of the world's best-loved storytellers, here is an unforgettable novel that explores the complex emotional bonds that exist between brothers, parents and children, and lovers.
