Old gods, new rules. In a wickedly fun twist on the ancient myths, New York Times bestselling author Katharine McGee reimagines the Greek gods for the modern age—living among us, as the ungodly rich one percent.
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. For starters, his name isn’t Harry: he’s really Ares, the ancient god of war. And his estranged family won’t stay away forever.
Soon Julia is caught up in a world of wealth and privilege, accompanying “Harry” to what she thinks is a family reunion in the Mediterranean. Except that these billionaires don’t just have money—they have divine powers. And the moment she steps onto their private island, Julia becomes their latest target.
Ares’s mother, Hera, is instinctively wary of newcomers, and tasks Hermes with unearthing Julia’s secrets. Aphrodite, Ares’s sister-in-law, has her own reasons for wanting Julia gone. And then there’s Hades. After centuries of waiting, he finally sees an opportunity to overthrow Zeus—because he alone, among the gods, who knows who Julia truly is.
Set against a glittering backdrop that sweeps from New York’s 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.
Fun, sexy, cool. Katharine McGee puts the immoral in immortal, and thank the gods she did. Her adult debut, Ungodly Rich, has entered the pantheon of modern retellings that keep the pages turning and remind us the gods were never meant to be better than us—only harder to resist.
“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? A spectacular adult debut that will leave readers breathless and desperate for more."
"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.”
"If you’re a fan of classic retellings and soap operas where the stakes are sky-high, you’ll absolutely devour Ungodly Rich! It’s Dallas meets Olympus—full of scheming power plays and ultimate betrayal, all while sparkling like the finest champagne"
