Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer-prize-winning human thundercloud. They are both on the balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reason: to write the biography of a woman no one has seen in years—or at least to meet with the octogenarian who claims to be Margaret Ives. Margaret is a tragic heiress, a former tabloid princess, and the 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 she will choose the person who will tell her story, the competition begins. However, Margaret is only giving each of them pieces of her story—pieces they cannot swap due to an ironclad NDA and an inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time they are in the same room. As the month progresses, it becomes abundantly clear that their story—just like the tale Margaret is spinning—could be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad, depending on who is telling it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTarget Audience \u0026amp; Reader Targeting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis sweeping novel is perfectly targeted toward fans of contemporary romance, historical fiction, and character-driven storytelling. It will deeply resonate with readers who enjoy the \"grumpy-meets-sunshine\" trope, compelling literary mysteries, and dual-perspective narratives set against the atmospheric backdrop of a coastal seaside town.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eEmily Henry is the #1 \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling author of \u003cem\u003eGreat Big Beautiful Life\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFunny Story\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eHappy Place\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBook Lovers\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePeople We Meet on Vacation\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eBeach Read\u003c\/em\u003e.
