Real love can create the unlikeliest of couples.
Kathryn Shea's life would be the envy of many. She's a tenured instructor at the local community college. She lives in the resort town of Bethany Beach. Her cottage is a stone's throw from the ocean.
It's ideal. And predictable. And maybe even boring.
Austin McGinnis's parents sent him to Bethany Beach to manage their rental properties and get his grades up so he can return to his Ivy League college in the fall. His plans to sleep late and spend weekends with his girlfriend are upended when he is called to repair a fence damaged by partiers at one of their properties.
The caller is Kathryn Shea.
The beginning is contentious, but while rebuilding the fence, Austin is also building a relationship with Kathryn. From lemonade on the front porch to dancing at a country dive bar, the two awaken something in each other that neither realized was missing.
The only barrier is a fifteen-year age difference. Is it too much? Austin is the same age as some of Kathryn's students. She's been married and divorced. He still attends fraternity formals. She teaches college courses; he takes them. Her friends wonder what she sees in him. Will his family feel the same?
Or can the spark between them grow into something deeper?
A heartwarming story of how love can overcome anything.
