    Old gods, new rules. New York Times bestselling author Katharine McGee puts a modern-day twist on ancient mythology in this bold reimagining of the Greek gods as a family of billionaires—with all the messy drama that entails.

    When Julia Dodds meets Harry Adams, love hits her like a lightning bolt. He’s adventurous, charismatic, and impossibly handsome. Little does Julia know that her boyfriend has left out a few key details. His name isn’t Harry: it’s Ares, as in the ancient god of war. His mother is Hera, and his father is Zeus.

    Soon, Julia is caught up in a world of wealth and privilege as she joins Harry at a lavish family reunion. Except these billionaires don’t just have wealth—they have divine powers. And the moment she steps onto their private island, Julia becomes their latest target.

    It’s no secret that the Gods love to meddle, and when it comes to Julia, Harry’s immortal relatives each have their own agenda. Harry’s mother, Hera, will do anything to protect her own. Harry’s sister-in-law Aphrodite has a deeply personal reason for hating Julia, and tasks Hermes, keeper of family secrets, with digging up dirt. Meanwhile, Hades has spent years trying to upend Zeus’s power—and now he finally sees an opportunity to strike.

    Set against a globe-trotting backdrop that sweeps from New York’s exclusive private clubs to the wilds of New Zealand to the gated estates of the British aristocracy, Ungodly Rich is a story of love, revenge, secrets, sex, and the most ancient motivator of all: family.
    “Take the decadent voyeurism and aspirational fantasy of Crazy Rich Asians but set it in a world in which the Greek gods are alive, kicking, and delightfully dysfunctional, and you’ve got McGee’s sexy, propulsive summer blockbuster. Ungodly Rich blends romance, myth, and sophisticated satire into a spellbinding beach read that will have readers swooning. This is smart, lush, jet-setting escapism at its finest.”—Ashley Winstead, national bestselling author of The Future Saints

    “From Manhattan's elite clubs to the wilds of New Zealand, Ungodly Rich delivers a delicious blend of contemporary romance and timeless mythology. With its jet-setting glamour, sizzling chemistry, and clever reimagining of Greek gods as modern moguls, this page-turner asks: What happens when mortal hearts dare to love the divine? This is a spectacular debut that will leave readers breathless and desperate for more.”—Emiko Jean, author of USA Today bestseller The Return of Ellie Black and New York Times bestseller Tokyo Ever After

    “Fun, sexy, cool. Katharine Mcgee puts the immoral in immortal, and thank the gods she did. Ungodly Rich has entered the pantheon of modern retellings that keep the pages turning and remind us that the gods were never meant to be better than us—only harder to resist.”—Jenny Lee, author of Anna K

    “Ungodly Rich is scandalous, soapy, and so much fun. A page-turner about badly-behaving gods and the mortal thrown into their midst, Katharine McGee's latest book is full of intrigue, but also real heart and romance. Think Greek mythology meets The White Lotus. In a word, it's divine.”—Laura Hankin, author of One-Star Romance
