When Margaret Ives, the famously reclusive heiress, invites eternal optimist Alice Scott to the balmy Little Crescent Island, Alice knows this is it: her big break. And even more rare: a chance to impress her family with a Serious Publication.
The catch? Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud, Hayden Anderson, is sure of the same thing.
The proposal? A one-month trial period to unearth the truth behind one of the most scandalous families of the 20th Century, after which sheâ€ll choose whoâ€ll tell her story.
The problem? Margaret is only giving each of them tantalising pieces. Pieces they canâ€t put together because of an ironclad NDA and an inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time theyâ€re in the same room.
And itâ€s becoming abundantly clear that their story – just like the tale Margaretâ€s spinning – could be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad … depending on whoâ€s telling it.
