Fern Michaels, among the world’s best-loved storytellers, delivers an emotionally charged and unexpected story of two very different brothers and the one woman who cherished them both-and who holds the key to a family group secret.

Handsome, rich, and adored by thousands, Ricky Lam was a golden boy-with a dark side. The substance-addicted superstar got hit rock bottom, but luckily, he had a business supervisor, his older sibling Philip, who compelled him right into a rehab clinic-a move that would develop an irreparable rift between them. Yet, years later, when tragedy strikes, Ricky dedicates himself to Philip’s fantasy: constructing a distinctive resort in South Carolina known as the Crown Jewel. Stepping into his brother’s sneakers, Ricky encounters unsettling surprises, among which can be an amazing woman, his sister-in-law Roxy, who leads him to the secret at the guts of his brother’s existence, and into a passionate romance. As Ricky efforts to discover the sibling he adored but never truly understood, he must settle a grave injustice dedicated years ago-even if this means risking his fame, his lot of money, and his lifestyle.
