From rural Virginia to coastal Carolina ~ Lilliane Moore leaves the forests and rolling hills of her rural Virginia hometown, Cub Creek, to accept a temporary job as a companion to an elderly man who lives at the beach. It’s a risky move that’s out of character for her, but her thirties are passing quickly—she feels like she's closing in on forty fast—plus she’s got a hole in her roof and no AC. The big payday she’s been promised for this short-term assignment will fix a lot of what’s wrong in her life.

Leaving one widow behind is unfortunate. Leaving three widows behind is just plain despicable. Oil heiress Kate Steele knew her not-so-dearly departed husband was a con man, but she's shocked that Conrad racked up two more wives without divorcing her first. The only remnant of their miserable marriage she plans to keep is their lakeside cabin in Bootleg, Texas. Unfortunately, she's not the only woman with that idea.

Lilliane accepted the temporary job because she needed the cash, but the biggest payoffs were the new friendships she made and the realization that she is more tied to protecting her family history and homeplace than she’d ever understood. Now she wants freedom to travel and make changes in her life, but she is torn between that desire and needing to do right by her deceased parents and their memory—most specifically, protecting the numerous sculptures her father crafted in his workshop before his death twenty years earlier.

Mittsommer in Lillaström - rund um den Maibaum gibt es weitaus mehr als nur Elche und Erdbeerkuchen, nämlich Herzklopfen, liebenswert-skurrile Dorfbewohner und jede Menge Gefühlschaos. Von wegen "Halbgott in Weiß" – "Vollidiot in Grün" trifft es eher! Diese Meinung hat jedenfalls Ida von Finn, dem neuen jungen Arzt in Lillaström.
