Real love can create the unlikeliest of couples. Kathryn Shea, a tenured instructor at a community college, enjoys a seemingly enviable life in the resort town of Bethany Beach, living in a charming cottage near the ocean. However, her life feels ideal yet predictable, bordering on boring. Meanwhile, Austin McGinnis is sent to Bethany Beach by his parents to manage rental properties and improve his grades for a return to his Ivy League college. His plans for a laid-back summer are disrupted when he’s called to repair a fence damaged by partygoers, and the caller is Kathryn. Their initial interactions are contentious, but as they work together to rebuild the fence, a deeper connection begins to form. From sharing lemonade on the porch to dancing at a local dive bar, they awaken feelings in each other that they didn’t know were missing. However, a fifteen-year age gap looms over their budding romance, with Austin being the same age as some of Kathryn’s students. Kathryn, having been married and divorced, and Austin, still immersed in college life, face scrutiny from friends and family. Can their spark grow into something meaningful, or will the age difference prove too significant? This heartwarming story explores how love can triumph over obstacles.
