Chocolate shop owner Charity Penn is finally settling into
life in the quirky South Carolina seaside town of Camellia
Beach cooking up chocolate treats. She’s even helped
organize the town’s lively beach music festival which has
brought rollicking crowds eager to dance the Carolina
shag. That is, until one of the band’s lead singers is
found dead beside a beach bonfire.
While also trying to balance the amorous attention of
music star Bixby Lewis, in town for the festival, and her
quest to perfect a new hot flavored bonbon, Charity dives
into the investigation. Though it’s more spice than sugar
when she discovers a threatening note, comes across
decades of age-old secrets, and Bixby comes into the line
of fire when a gas grill explodes on the deck of a
beachfront house.
Now Charity must turn up the heat and catch the killer
before her chance melts away.
