He's an injured firefighter. She bakes the most delightful treats. When their worlds collide will the baker help heal the firefighter with a mix of blueberry muffins and her caring way?
The elegant baker, Hannah Bell, has always lived on Bluestar Island with her family. While still grieving for her father, who died in a fire, she focuses all of her energy on making her dream come true--opening her very own bakery. But when a broken water pipe washes away her carefully laid plans, she's on the verge of losing everything.
New York firefighter Ethan Walker's life is in a tailspin after he's injured on-the-job. When an urgent call detours him to Bluestar Island, he agrees to help his lovable but meddlesome great-aunt. But organizing the island's Spring Fling proves a lot harder than he originally imagined. He needs help...and fast.
Under the magic of Bluestar Island's sea breeze and warm sunshine, Hannah and Ethan must not only face their immediate obstacles but also their own turning points in life. Will they have to do that alone? With a leap of faith and a dash of romance, they might just find the perfect mix to make their dreams come true.
Includes a delicious recipe for The Elegant Baker's Blueberry Crumble Muffin!

Excerpt Hannah rushed out the door and moved toward her bicycle.
It had come from her grandmother’s estate. With a rusty frame, two flat tires,
and a torn seat, it’d been designated for the junk heap. But Hannah remembered
her grandmother’s smile when she rode it around the island and knew she
couldn’t part with it.
A little sanding followed by a coat of hot pink paint,
new tires, and a replacement seat gave the bike new life. The woven basket on
the front just needed to be cleaned and it looked like new. And just like her
grandmother, Hannah couldn’t stop smiling when riding it.
She slung her backpack purse over her shoulders and then
set off. It was finally time to check on the progress of the bakery. She hadn’t
been able to make it there yesterday, as she’d had a large baking order and
she’d been exhausted when she finished.
Each day the crew was making marked progress. A smile
tugged at her lips. It was going to look amazing when it was finished.
As Hannah rode through town, she waved at everyone she
passed. She couldn’t imagine there was any nicer place to live. Spring had
blossomed in vibrant shades of red, purple, yellow, and so many other lovely
colors. The tulips were in full bloom. They were such a welcome sight as the
colorful flowers encircled the tree trunks lining the street.
This was going to be the best year ever. These days she
felt as though she were walking on clouds—big, white, puffy ones. Yes, life was
that good. And dreams did come true.
“Good morning.” Agnes Dewey’s weathered face lifted with
a smile as she paused from sweeping the sidewalk in front of her house.
