Description
Book 1 in the St. Caroline Series
A sweet summer romance set on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay
A wealthy heir called back home by family duty ...
The
town of St. Caroline had never felt like home to Sterling Matthew. Even
though the Matthew family could date their residence back nearly a
hundred years, Sterling had grown up in boarding schools—and promptly
decamped for the ski slopes of Europe after college.
When his
father falls ill, his mother calls him home to run the family business,
the renowned Chesapeake Inn. What Sterling finds, though, is a business
on shaky financial footing and a staff resistant to the radical changes
he has to make. No matter. He’ll do what needs to be done … and then
leave St. Caroline for good.
A woman who’s pulled herself up by the bootstraps …
For
years, Lucy Wyndham wondered whether she’d ever catch another glimpse
of the boy she’d crushed on at the Chesapeake Inn’s summer camp for
disadvantaged kids. He’d been tall and quiet. Mysterious and aloof. And
the owner’s son. Now he’s her boss and the attraction is just as
strong—but they’re no more compatible today than they were as teenagers.
When he informs her that the camp must be eliminated to improve the
resort’s bottom line, she embarks on an ambitious campaign to save it.
Even if the price is her job ... and her heart.

If you're looking for a quick, romantic story, you’ll love Sterling and Lucy’s journey together.. Two individuals from completely different lives and backgrounds.
Sterling is the only son of the wealthy family who owns the Chesapeake Inn. Lucy is now the marketing director at the Chesapeake Inn and was once an underprivileged teen who visited the inn's summer camp; the same camp where she and Sterling had an intimate summer together. Sterling, in an attempt to save his inheritance, after many years abroad he returns to take control of the inn due to his father’s failing health. He's no longer the fumbling teenager that Lucy lost her virginity to, but a very sexy, desirable man and now her new boss! Just what she needs, right?
From the very beginning they fight about how the inn should be run, because they see and remember things differently. The summer camp which Lucy insists benefits the community and a lot of kids with troubled lives/homes BUT Sterling sees it as an unnecessary cost on the inn's bottom line. The camp helped Lucy survive as a teen, but Sterling holds a grudge against the camp, because as the son of the Inn’s owner is wasn’t allowed to experience certain things during his youth.
Sterling and Lucy’s romance allows the reader to experience the ups and downs of their relationship as it crosses lines of pre-conceived notions from the past, a strong romantic attraction that neither is immediately eager to admit.
There are a lot of great secondary characters in this story that you will grow to love and I would say that Douglas was one of my favorites. You don’t get to see a lot of Douglas, a friend of Lucy's who works at the Kids Kamp and is a very good friend of hers, but you can't help but fall for him and his protectiveness of Lucy.

Being originally from the Eastern Shore, I seek out novels that use it as a setting. I often find a gem, but I often am disappointed. Summer Again is "just right." It brought that beautiful part of the world alive enough to make me homesick. The characters were well drawn, and I cared about what happened to them. I hope we get another opportunity to visit with them
