• Irresistible . . . High drama at the beach starring four sexy surfing siblings and their
deadbeat famous-crooner dad.”—PeopleFour famous siblings throw an epic party to celebrate the
end of the summer. But over the course of twenty-four hours the family drama that ensues will
change their lives will change forever. Malibu: August 1983. It’s the day of Nina Riva’s annual
end-of-summer party and anticipation is at a fever pitch. Everyone wants to be around the
famous Rivas: Nina the talented surfer and supermodel brothers Jay and Hud one a
championship surfer the other a renowned photographer and their adored baby sister Kit.
Together the siblings are a source of fascination in Malibu and the world over—especially as
the offspring of the legendary singer Mick Riva. The only person not looking forward to the
party of the year is Nina herself who never wanted to be the center of attention and who has
also just been very publicly abandoned by her pro tennis player husband. Oh and maybe
Hud—because it is long past time for him to confess something to the brother from whom he’s
been inseparable since birth. Jay on the other hand is counting the minutes until nightfall
when the girl he can’t stop thinking about promised she’ll be there. And Kit has a couple
secrets of her own—including a guest she invited without consulting anyone. By midnight the
party will be completely out of control. By morning the Riva mansion will have gone up in
flames. But before that first spark in the early hours before dawn the alcohol will flow the
music will play and the loves and secrets that shaped this family’s generations will all come
rising to the surface. Malibu Rising is a story about one unforgettable night in the life of a
family: the night they each have to choose what they will keep from the people who made them .
. . and what they will leave behind. This edition includes an interview with the author book
club discussion questions and more!
