Great Big Beautiful Life | 🌶️ 🌶️

Two rival writers. One mysterious heiress. And a love story neither saw coming.

Alice Scott is an eternal optimist chasing her big writing break. Hayden Anderson is a brooding, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer who isn’t exactly known for his sunshine personality.

When both arrive on a beautiful coastal island hoping to write the biography of the notoriously private Margaret Ives, the competition is officially on.

They have one month to win Margaret’s trust and uncover the secrets of her scandalous past. But there’s a catch: Margaret is telling each writer a different version of her story.

As secrets unravel and professional rivalry turns into undeniable attraction, Alice and Hayden discover that some stories are far more complicated—and romantic—than they first appear.

Filled with sharp banter, slow-burning chemistry, family secrets, and heartfelt moments, Great Big Beautiful Life is an emotional romance about love, ambition, and the stories we choose to tell.
