Lisa Sorenson adores her students’ relentless enthusiasm. Light-hearted and intent on celebrating life, she’s intrigued by Riley’s cerebral aloofness. Drawn to each other, an unlikely romance blossoms and begins to thrive. But when their professional worlds begin to collide in a most unlikely manner, a wedge is driven between them and threatens to push them apart. Can the love they feel for each other overcome such a gulf and can they find their joie de vivre—their zest of life—together before it’s too late?
