After his grandmother's death, John Caldwell appreciates the sweet letters and cookie care packages her friend "Aunt Bee" sends during his tour of duty in Iraq. When he returns home, he decides to visit the elderly lady and thank her in person.

"Aunt Bee" is no spinster in sensible shoes, however. She's young, smart, kind, luscious Phoebe Hunnicut, and when John meets her face to face, her delicious cookies aren't the only things he wants to sample.
