Paige Ellerbee is the owner and chef of Sweet Bee's in Maple Creek , Maryland. She was formerly the pastry chef at the Hay-Adams Hotel in Washington, D.C.  but returned to her childhood home when her Mom became seriously ill and subsequently passed away. Not wanting to leave her grieving Dad, she opened her pastry shop right next to her Dad's barber shop.  She loves the sleepy town of Magic Creek, and all  the eccentric townspeople.  Paige fills her shop with her mother's award winning pastries, baked with a special touch....magic!  A lot of her patrons come to the shop with special "prescriptions" from the town Dr. for their made to order muffins. She bakes  gluten free, sugar free and the healthiest of muffins  with her unique  ingredient!Dr. Lane  Anderson is in town for a few weeks while his uncle, Dr. Hartley  travels in Europe. He is recovering from a broken engagement,  and a serious blow to his career.  He is in Maple Creek to help the townspeople, and make some decisions about his future.  Lane and Paige's first meeting, despite an immediate spark between them,  is not a good one.  He will not provide documentation for her customers to get their special muffins.  The  legal issues concern him.  They agree to disagree, but when an amazing opportunity presents itself, a destination wedding in the Tropics, all bets are off.  They each decide a quick "fling" in Paradise would be wonderful.  No strings,  just sex and fun!  They suddenly realize there is only one problem.  They both want some strings!I love small town stories, and this one is so much fun.  The characters are delightful and we get to catch up with Liza and Cole and their wedding in St. Lucia.Ms. March's description of the island, the resort, and their sanctuaries is spell binding. I so wanted to be there!  I could almost smell the scent of flowers and candles.I highly recommend this novel, especially with the fall and winter coming soon!  You can dream away in the Tropics.I received this novel from Entangled Publishing for an honest review.
