Vanessa's world was crumbling around her. Her marriage had ended, her job was no more, and her lease was about to expire with the landlord planning to sell her beloved apartment. Frustrated, heartbroken, and feeling isolated, she decided to embark on a new chapter by purchasing a countryside manor, hoping for a fresh start. Upon arrival, she found the grand estate in a state mirroring her own struggles. The roof required urgent repairs, the plumbing was older than some nations, and the persistent draft seemed to be the only connection she had to the world outside. In this unexpected situation, she encountered Clay. Clay, with his captivating green eyes and an allure that could sweep anyone off their feet, was 15 years younger than Vanessa. He appeared to be the perfect solution to her problems, both practically and emotionally. As he lent his skilled hands to fix the manor, their connection grew stronger, transcending beyond the physical, into the realm of intimacy. However, their blossoming relationship faced challenges. The town gossips disapproved due to the age gap, and Vanessa's former partner was determined to sabotage her happiness. Amidst these obstacles, could Clay truly be the answer to the desperate longing in Vanessa's heart for a fresh beginning?
