Fern Michaels, one of the world’s best-loved storytellers, delivers an emotionally charged and surprising tale of two very different brothers and the one woman who loved them both.

Handsome, rich, and adored by millions, Ricky Lam was a Hollywood superstar with a dark side. His drug and alcohol addiction had brought him to rock bottom, but his older brother and business manager, Philip, forced him into a rehab clinic—a move that would create an irreparable rift between them.

Years later, 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, including his sister-in-law Roxy, who leads him toward the mystery at the center of Philip’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 life.
