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 father is Zeus and his mother is Hera.

Soon, Julia is caught up in a world of wealth and privilege as she joins Harry for 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 the Gods love to meddle—and when it comes to Julia, Harry’s divine 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, who’s spent years trying to upend Zeus’s power, finally sees an opportunity to strike.

Set against a globe-trotting backdrop that spans New York’s exclusive private clubs, the wilds of New Zealand, and the snow-draped estates of the Alps, Ungodly Rich is a story of love, revenge, secrets, sex, and the most ancient motivator of all: family.
