What is The Pumpkin Spice Cafe about?

When Jeanie receives the beloved Pumpkin Spice Café from her aunt, she sees the opportunity as the perfect escape from her dull desk job and a chance to begin a completely new life in the small town of Dream Harbor.

But starting over in a close-knit town comes with surprises, especially when Jeanie meets Logan, a local farmer who prefers to stay far away from Dream Harbor's gossip and attention.

Jeanie's cheerful arrival quickly disrupts Logan's carefully established routine. He wants nothing to do with the relentlessly upbeat newcomer, yet despite his best efforts, he finds himself increasingly drawn to her.

Can Jeanie's happy-go-lucky personality win over the grumpy but gorgeous Logan, or has she finally met the one person in Dream Harbor who can resist both her charm and her pumpkin spice lattes?
