The Pumpkin Spice Café

When Jeanie inherits the Pumpkin Spice Café from her aunt, she trades a dull city desk job for a fresh start in the small seaside town of Dream Harbor. The town runs on gossip and strong opinions — about coffee, and about the bright, chatty newcomer now running its favorite gathering spot — and Jeanie throws herself into winning it over, one latte at a time.

Logan, a local farmer, has spent years keeping his head down and staying clear of Dream Harbor's rumor mill. Jeanie's relentless cheerfulness is exactly the kind of attention he'd rather avoid, and yet he keeps finding excuses to be near her. As autumn settles over the town, the grumpiest man in Dream Harbor and its sunniest new arrival circle a connection neither planned on.

The first book in Laurie Gilmore's viral Dream Harbor series, The Pumpkin Spice Café is a cozy, low-stakes, grumpy-sunshine small-town romance — warm, seasonal comfort reading with a guaranteed happy ending.
