Description
Alice Scott is an eternal optimist still dreaming of her big writing break. Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud. And theyโre both on balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reason: to write the biography of a woman no one has seen in yearsโor at least to meet with the octogenarian who claims to beย theย Margaret Ives. Tragic heiress, former tabloid princess, and daughter of one of the most storied (and scandalous) families of the twentieth century.
When Margaret invites them both for a one-month trial period, after which sheโll choose the person whoโll tell her story, there are three things keeping Aliceโs head in the game.
One: Alice genuinely likes people, which means people usually like Aliceโand she has a whole month to win the legendary woman over.
Two: Sheโs ready for this job and the chance to impress her perennially unimpressed family with a Serious Publication.
Three: Hayden Anderson, who should have no reason to be concerned about losing this book, is glowering at her in a shaken-to-the core way that suggests he sees her as competition.
But the problem is, Margaret is only giving each of them pieces of her story. Pieces they canโt swap to put together because of an ironclad NDA and an inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time theyโre in the same room.
And itโs becoming abundantly clear that their storyโjust like the tale Margaretโs spinningโcould be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad . . . depending on whoโs telling it
