Returning to college after a failed marriage has Joanna Lawson feeling overwhelmed. Her professor suggests she ask a classmate for help, pointing her in Kurt's direction.
Joanna has seen the way the shy, mysterious young man looks at her during class. She meets up with Kurt after class and is able to convince him to tutor her before their upcoming midterm.
The mature woman has been hurt before; her husband's infidelity almost shattered her trust in men. Kurt seems different though, he's a safe choice -nothing like her ex- and she finds herself irresistibly drawn to him.
They meet in the library for a late night study session and things quickly heat up as Joanna makes her move. She soon finds herself tutoring the inexperienced youth in the ways of love-making.
After their steamy rendezvous, they make plans to see each other again and see where the relationship takes them. Unfortunately, Joanna is not completely free of her past.
Can their May-December romance survive or will outside forces tear the new lovers apart?
