Jeanie Ellis’s Aunt Dot decides to retire and take a long vacation to the Caribbean, leaving Jeanie in charge of her café. Though Jeanie is nothing like her eccentric Aunt Dot, she sees taking her place as the owner of The Pumpkin Spice Café in the small town of Dream Harbor as an opportunity to reinvent herself. However, Jeanie hasn’t been able to sleep since arriving in town because she continues to hear strange noises outside her apartment above the café. In the early morning, she hears something by her front door, and, believing it to be a murderer, she goes downstairs with a baseball bat to protect herself. Rather than a murderer, Jeanie finds a handsome farmer named Logan Anders outside her door, who informs her that he is just making his weekly delivery of produce to the café. Jeanie proceeds to pour out her worries to him in great detail and invite him in for a cup of coffee.

Logan makes a point of doing his deliveries before dawn so he doesn’t have to talk to any of the townsfolk whom he views as nosey. Yet, he finds himself unable to escape Jeanie, nor—to his surprise—does he want to.
