Something So Sweet

Honey Hill, North Carolina, is a town of beehives, old buildings, and neighborly warmth, and its mayor, Lunden Pierce, is the most determined defender of its landmarks. Her world shifts when Quade Cannon, the boy she once loved, comes back to town. He spent childhood summers in Honey Hill and remembers them with affection, but he has no interest in the historic inn he has inherited or in the bees living on its grounds. He plans to sell the property. For Lunden, the possible loss of the town's history is a battle she intends to fight.

Determined to change his mind, Lunden shows Quade everything that makes Honey Hill special, from its small-town character to its beekeeping traditions. As he grows attached to the town, he also finds himself drawn to her, and the feeling is mutual. Their summer together grows steadily more intense, and Lunden must decide between the place she loves and the man whose plans could transform it.
