Sex, glamour and intrigue merge in the sensational new blockbuster from the bestselling author of Daddy's GirlsIn the ultra-chic world of the fabulously rich, fashion can have a very high price...Saul Milford, owner of one of England's oldest and most prestigious luxury goods companies is dead, but who will inherit his estate? For years Saul's niece Cassandra, editor-in-chief of Rive, the most glamorous fashion magazine of the moment has believed that she would be the sole benefactor. But she's not the only family member with their eye on the ultimate prize. Roger, Saul's handsome brother with a demanding wife. Elizabeth the art-dealer with a dark and brooding secret, Tom the playboy nephew, and Emma, the hard–working but unlucky in love niece living and working in Boston. All have their reasons for wanting the company. But one of them will go to any lengths to secure what they believe is rightfully theirs. Once again Tasmina Perry takes us a non-stop tour of the mega-privileged, weaving a gilt-edged tale of lust, glamour and intrigue around the world's most luxurious locations. It's what beaches were made for.
The sudden death of luxury goods mogul Saul Milford triggers a cutthroat inheritance battle among his ambitious, wealthy relatives. Cassandra, the editor-in-chief of a high-profile fashion magazine, finds her expectations of sole inheritance challenged by a cast of family members, each harboring their own hidden agendas and financial desperation. As the struggle for control over the prestigious company intensifies, the narrative shifts between the perspectives of these disparate heirs, revealing the moral compromises they are willing to make. The story unfolds as a high-stakes competition where the veneer of extreme privilege masks deep-seated resentment and calculated deception.
This novel aligns with the conventions of commercial fiction centered on the lives of the ultra-wealthy. The narrative structure suggests a focus on rapid pacing and high-stakes drama intended to appeal to readers of contemporary escapist literature. The premise points to a preoccupation with the intersection of fashion, status, and familial betrayal. The work likely functions as a character-driven exploration of how extreme privilege influences personal ethics and long-term family dynamics.
