Great Big Beautiful Life

On Little Crescent Island, sunny optimist Alice Scott and brooding Pulitzer winner Hayden Anderson compete to write the biography of reclusive heiress Margaret Ives. Over a one-month trial, Margaret feeds each of them tantalizing but incomplete pieces of her story—pieces they can’t share due to strict NDAs. As professional rivalry collides with undeniable attraction, the truth about Margaret—and their own hearts—unfolds in a tale that could end as a mystery, tragedy, or romance.
