A controlling woman on sabbatical, a vineyard, and the guy next door.
Forty-year-old Reese Conway values two things: excellence and winning. Between being a partner at a thriving private equity firm in Chicago, having enough money to last her three lifetimes, and sitting on the brink of landing the biggest account of her life, she has both.
Instead of getting the win, Reese's world is flipped upside down when her boss questions her bleak personal life then forces her onto sabbatical.
Desperate to save face and keep the account, Reese returns home to North Carolina. Not only will she take the break that's been asked of her, but she'll prove she has a personal life by having a baby via sperm donor.
But returning home is nothing like she expected. Between a failing vineyard and the ten-years-too-young man next door, Reese's quest to have a child takes an unexpected detour. With her return to the life she's built in Chicago pending, Reese must decide between a future she controls and one filled with love that looks different than she imagined.
The Difference Between is the second standalone novel in the Back to Fontain series. This reverse age-gap romance will appeal to fans of the millennial favorites Sweet Home Alabama and Hope Floats.
