Publisher's Summary
During a weekend retreat, a powerful family plays a dangerous game of dark secrets and cold-blooded ambition in a novel by Kaira Rouda, USA Today bestselling author of Beneath the Surface.
Under the direction of the Kingsleys’ new president, Paige, the family has gathered for a weekend retreat at a luxurious Laguna Beach resort.
Still clinging to the hope of succession are the sons of Richard Kingsley, the family patriarch and CEO: John, the oldest, who’s clawed his way back from a dark tragedy, and Paige’s estranged husband, Ted, the golden boy. When Richard’s ex and his wayward daughter join the fray, Paige finds herself with two fast allies. They know a secret that could shatter the family legacy. Call it leverage, call it revenge, the Kingsley women believe they have the upper hand.
But as the power games begin, greater threats than the howling Santa Ana winds are coming. Because this weekend, amid so much greed and betrayal, no Kingsley is safe. It’s family. Watch your back.
What the critics say
“Rouda keeps the complications coming…Fans of lethal soap operas will be happy to know that a third season is on the way.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Kaira Rouda writes with such a fresh, engaging voice—she pulled me into this story from page one! I loved everything about Under the Palms: the secrets, power games, over-the-top luxury and complex characters. If you're looking for a delicious read, you need to pick up this book!”—Sarah Pekkanen, New York Times bestselling author of House of Glass
“The Kingsleys’ are back and just as devilishly devious as before. Under the Palms is a single-sitting, binge-worthy page-turner. I didn’t think this family’s behavior could get any more appalling, but Kaira Rouda delivers with whip sharp banter and morally gray characters bent on doing their worst, even if it’s murder. For anyone feeling a dry spell after Succession, snap up this book. It’s pure fun.”—Kerry Lonsdale, Wall Street Journal bestselling author
