The Pumpkin Spice Cafe by Laurie Gilmore (Hardback)

Jeanie leaves her routine office life behind when she inherits the Pumpkin Spice Café in Dream Harbor. The move offers space to rethink what she wants and a chance to build something of her own. The café holds a strong place in the town, and Jeanie steps into a role that mixes community, responsibility and the pull of a slower pace. She learns the rhythms of small-town life, meets regulars who welcome her in different ways and discovers how much the café means to those who rely on it.

Logan works long days on his farm and keeps clear of the town’s buzz. He values privacy and avoids anything that draws attention. Jeanie’s arrival shifts his balance, raising questions he has pushed aside for years. Their early exchanges spark tension that reflects two people guarding their worlds, each unsure how much to reveal and how much to change.

As Jeanie settles in, the café becomes more than a workplace. It gives her purpose, stability and a clearer view of her future. Logan finds himself pulled into her orbit, even when he tries to resist. Their connection grows slowly and depends on trust, steady choices and the willingness to open up. With Dream Harbor shaping their paths, both face decisions that test what they want from life and from each other.

This story blends small-town warmth, character growth and a gentle romantic thread built on steady moments rather than fast twists.
