    The premise

    Moriah is a woodworking artisan living in a French seaside town who dreams of restoring a local lighthouse. But Ben, an American architect who comes to town may derail her plans.

    How unusual is it?

    Middle of the road, with a twist — an enemies-to-lovers arc and a second-chance romance keep it from being totally by-the-book.
