Rachel Chu should be blissfully happy: a flawless diamond, a dream wedding on the horizon, and a fiancé prepared to walk away from one of Asia's greatest fortunes for her. Yet a nagging sadness lingers — the father she never knew won't be there to give her away. When a chance accident reveals his identity, Rachel is swept into an entirely new world of extravagance: Shanghai's 'China rich,' a society even more dazzling and cutthroat than the Singapore families she already knows.
