School is out, following a bit of saucy scandal at Downey House...

But in the heat of summer, Maggieâs attraction to her colleague David McDonald has caught fire. Now both are facing an uncertain future as they try to figure out how to stay committed to their careersâand each other.
Meanwhile, the girls of Downey Houseâmercurial Fliss, glamorous Alice, and shy, hard-working Simoneâhave had long summers at home, which werenât quite the respite they had been hoping for. But the new school year is thankfully here, and it will bring new pupils and lots of fresh challenges for students and teachers alike at the school by the sea.
