Summary
When twenty-two-year-old Charlotte Heywood accepts an au pair position in Martha’s Vineyard, she’s looking for summer adventure before starting her teaching career. She’s not prepared for Xander Colbourne—thirty-two, divorced, devastatingly attractive, and determined to maintain professional distance despite the tension crackling between them from the moment they meet.
Xander knows hiring Charlotte is a mistake. She’s too young, too vibrant, too everything he’s been trying not to want since his marriage imploded. But his daughter Leo needs her warmth and enthusiasm, so he tells himself he can control his attraction...A multichapter modern AU that unfolds across a beautiful summer - it is mostly drafted and will be 15 chapters long. Hope you enjoy.

Summary
Charlotte Heywood is a young doctor in New York City, exhausted by the realities of interning and residency applications, and quietly unraveling after leaving a relationship that never quite fit. In order to escape a shocking loss, her best friend Gigi treats her to a summer by the sea, where she accidentally begins exchanging letters with a man named Alex Colbourne, the reserved owner of their rented beach house in Sanditon. Over time, their correspondence deepens into something rare—intimate, honest, and transformative—despite the impossibility between them: Alex lives in 2008; Charlotte lives in 2010.
Loosely based on the 2006 movie ‘The Lake House’. Updated weekly.
