About the Author
Kate Beresford writes about love, ambition, and the glittering worlds where the two collide. Having spent years within the rarefied social circles of California’s Central Coast, she brings an insider’s eye to the intersections of privilege, politics, and passion.
Sex Money Power Golf is her debut novel—the first in a planned series following the Ashbourne family through romance, scandal, and the cost of power.
About the Book
Amid California estates, political ambition, and inherited privilege, the Ashbournes have always been the story.
Told over three consecutive, interlocking years, Sex Money Power Golf follows three Ashbourne siblings as love, ambition, and scandal begin to unravel the narratives that have long protected them. Nathaniel, Britain’s ascendant Foreign Secretary, risks everything when the relationship he can no longer keep private threatens the image his career depends on. Edward, long sustained by charm and excess, is forced to confront the myth of himself when he falls for a woman who refuses to romanticize his self-destruction. And Sylvia, the family’s activist, enters a volatile relationship with billionaire surveillance founder Michael Navarro—a man whose fortune is built on the very systems she is determined to expose.
As private decisions ignite public consequences, the Ashbournes must reckon with what their wealth has bought, what it has cost them, and whether love can survive the structures that have shaped them. Sex Money Power Golf is a sharp, seductive upmarket novel about family inheritance, public image, and the dangerous line between intimacy and control.
