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!

“Mom, what’s
going on?” He willed her to say everything was all right—that he’d misheard
her.
“It’s Aunt
Birdie. There’s been an accident. She’s at the hospital.”
Aunt Birdie
was technically his great-aunt, which meant she was getting on in age and a
fall could be serious. Aunt Birdie was his mother’s aunt and the only living
relative on her side of the family. Aunt Birdie had grown up in Brooklyn, just
like him, but when she married, she moved to Bluestar Island just off the
Massachusetts coastline. It was a lesser-known island than Nantucket or
Martha’s Vineyard, but it still had its own charms and distinct folklore.
His great-aunt
was more than just a fun aunt; she was more like a loving grandmother to him.
He remembered as a child visiting Bluestar Island for Christmas and especially
for the Fourth of July celebration. He’d even spent part of his summer
vacations with Aunt Birdie. They were some of his favorite memories.
With great
trepidation, he asked, “How bad is it?”
“I…I don’t
know. Must have just happened. I missed the call. Someone left a generic
voicemail saying she fell, but they gave no other details about the extent of
her injuries. I tried calling but with all of the rules and regulations, I
couldn’t get any details. I’m trying to get a flight home but everything is
booked.”
The thought of
his parents abandoning their once-in-a-lifetime trip, when they didn’t know the
seriousness of the situation, didn’t sit well with him. “Mom, hold off on the
reservations—”
“But I have to
be there for her. Aunt Birdie doesn’t have anyone else.” Her voice was filled
with worry.
“She has me.”
