About this listen
The town of St. Caroline had never felt like home to Sterling Matthew. Even though the Matthew family could date their residence back nearly 100 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.
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.
Contains mature themes.

Love on the Chesapeake
For the past 5yrs, Lucy has the marketing director at the Chesapeake Inn in the seaside town of St. Caroline, MD. While she enjoys working there, her heart is with the camp for underprivileged kids that is sponsored and run by the Inn. However, things are changing this summer...the elderly owner is dying and his son has returned to run the Inn. When he announces that this will be the camp’s last summer, Lucy sets about to change his mind.
Sterling Matthews has spent most of the years since high school on ski slopes and ‘finding himself’. He has never had to hold down a job because of his family’s wealth. With his father dying, Sterling is back to, hopefully, get the Inn out of its financial struggle...and put it up for sale. After all, Sterling did not enjoy his time growing up at the Inn. Now he’s meeting resistance from the lovely marketing director...the one with whom he had a summer fling when she was a camper 15yrs ago. Will this pair get past their personal agendas and do what’s best for the Inn...and each other? Some drama and angsty moments. I didn’t like Sterling for most of this book...lol...I would be giving spoilers if I explained. Just read/listen!!
