There's nothing like a man in uniform…

Shana Berrie recently bought a small ice-cream-and-pizza parlor in Seattle. She's starting to get her life on track when her sister Ali, a naval nurse, is sent to sea. Shana is left to take care of her niece, Jazmine, until her sister returns. To Shana's surprise, nine-year-olds have a lot of opinions, including some about her love life.

Commander Adam Kennedy, a family friend, seems to feel Shana needs help as a substitute parent—while Jazmine decides Shana needs help finding a husband. A navy husband!
