Being the King/Queen of Lancaster Prep is hard to do unless there are no Lancasters at the school, if you are a Lancaster then you automatically assume the role and rule the school. This year Weston Fontaine is excited as there are no Lancasters enrolled currently at Lancaster Prep which means he is now King of the school for his final year. During summer break, West and a few of his friends went off to Europe and Paris. It was in Paris, that West spotted a Lancaster - Carolina Lancaster. She is the Lancaster people forget about as she has dedicated her life to dancing and since she was 13 - she has lived abroad and studied Ballet at dance schools. It is in Paris that Carolina loses her V-card to Weston Fontaine. The pair have an amazing night and then go their separate ways. That is until Carolina's parents with having no children to boss around, decide to inconvenience her life and have her spend her final year at Lancaster Prep. As Carolina starts school, she realizes that being a Lancaster has its perks but also it's cons. Unlike her siblings, Carolina hasn't had the experience of a normal schooling life or using the Lancaster name. What happens though when she learns the guy she can't help but dream about happens to be at Lancaster Prep? Thus begins a love/hate relationship between Carolina and West. As things finally heat up though, West just vanishes and breaks Carolina's heart. Two years will pass and West will return to Carolina's life as he shows up to her dance show. Will this be a second chance romance for Carolina or West or has too much time and events happened? Find out in Book #4 I'll Always Be With You by Monica Murphy. I am now excited to move on to the next Lancaster Prep book which features Arch Lancaster who is a cousin to Whit, Carolina, Sylvie, and Crew.
