In Mill Pond, Indiana, neighbors always look out for each other. And even though tourists are drawn to the small town's charms, it's the locals who fill it with warmth . . .
 
Traveling nurse Karli Redding doesn't have many fond memories of her aging grandfather, Axel—or of Mill Pond. But with Axel's health in decline and Karli on a month's hiatus between jobs, she volunteers to set him up with the help he needs. The house and her grandfather could both use some TLC. Good thing Keagan Monroe, the very attractive mailman next door, is always ready to lend a hand . . .
 
Not a lot slips by a mailman, and Keagan appreciates Karli's dogged attempts to spruce up the neglected property. Painting, fixing the sagging porch, delivering a constant stream of casseroles from caring neighbors—he'll help however he can, all while keeping his feelings under wraps. A short-term fling just doesn't fit into his schedule. But with each passing day, Karli's bond with the town grows a little deeper. Has fate sent her exactly where she needs to be? Karli's willing to find out, and the first step is figuring out the perfect route to Keagan's heart . . .
