Seaside Sunsets
Synopsis
Jessica Ayers has lived a sheltered, tightly scheduled life, her days filled with little beyond cello lessons and practice. Now a cellist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, she escapes the buttoned-up world of the symphony for a summer in the Seaside community of Wellfleet, Massachusetts, hoping to figure out whether she is truly living or simply letting life pass her by. Jamie Reed, the billionaire behind the world's second-largest search engine, is taking his first real time off in years. He intends to work from Cape Cod and spend the season with his elderly grandmother, and falling in love is nowhere in his plans. From the moment they meet, the attraction between Jamie and Jessica runs intense and immediate. The once single-mindedly driven Jamie can think of little besides the smart, alluring cellist, while Jessica begins to uncover a bolder side of herself she never knew existed. Over one Cape Cod summer, a woman finally reaching for a fuller life and a man who never made room for love are drawn into something neither anticipated, testing whether two people from very different worlds can build a future together.
