Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud. And theyΓÇÖre both on balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reason: to write the biography of a woman no one has seen in yearsΓÇöor at least to meet with the octogenarian who claims to be the Margaret Ives. Tragic heiress,former tabloid princessand daughter of one of the most storied (and scandalous) families of the twentieth century. When Margaret invites them both for a one-month trial periodafter which sheΓÇÖll choose the person whoΓÇÖll tell her storythere are three things keeping AliceΓÇÖs head in the game. One: Alice genuinely likes peoplewhich means people usually like AliceΓÇöand she has a whole month to win the legendary woman over. Two: SheΓÇÖs ready for this job and the chance to impress her perennially unimpressed family with a Serious Publication. Three: Hayden Andersonwho should have no reason to be concerned about losing this bookis glowering at her in a shaken-to-the core way that suggests he sees her as competition. But the problem isMargaret is only giving each of them pieces of her story. Pieces they canΓÇÖt swap to put together because of an ironclad NDA and an inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time theyΓÇÖre in the same room. And itΓÇÖs becoming abundantly clear that their storyΓÇöjust like the tale MargaretΓÇÖs spinningΓÇöcould be a mysterytragedyor love ballad . . . depending on whoΓÇÖs telling it.
