What to expect
I'm ready to open my flower shop Bud's Blooms and turn over a whole new petal. But when a new arrival in Mulligan's Mill—fancy French pastry chef Pascal Dupont—decides to open a new patisserie right next door, I find myself more than just a little distracted by the grumpy, gorgeous Parisian chef.
Maybe, with a little help from my friends, I'll get all the love advice I need to become the smooth, suave, sophisticated gentleman that Pascal might notice.
PASCAL
Sacre bleu! How the hell did I find myself in a place like Mulligan's Mill, a white-picket, tiny-minded, tin-can town that couldn't be further than my glittering, glamorous Paris if it tried? But there's a secret hiding somewhere in this small American town that will save my reputation and send my culinary career soaring.
What I wasn't expecting was the distraction of my hot, hunky, American neighbor. But I've been working so hard on my career, even I didn't know how much a man like Bud would make my heart bloom.
Now the question is, can I solve my mystery, save my career, and win the heart of my American-pie sweetheart without setting the temperature too high and burning my chances of finally finding true love?
