When eternal optimist Alice Scott lands on the exclusive Little Crescent Island, she knows this is her big break: a chance to write the biography of reclusive heiress Margaret Ives—the once-tabloid princess at the heart of one of the 20th century’s most scandalous families.
The only catch? Pulitzer-winning (and perpetually grumpy) writer Hayden Anderson is there for the same reason. Margaret wants one of them to write her story—but she’ll decide who after a one-month trial period. And she’s not making it easy: giving each writer tantalising pieces of her truth, wrapped in NDAs and secrets.
As truths unravel and sparks fly, the story they’re chasing becomes tangled with the one they’re living—blurring the lines between fact, fiction, and feeling.
