Even with all her experience, Gloria Bachman, retired banker and candy entrepreneur, didn’t see this coming. 

Sweeties, the beloved Comfort chocolate shop, was ready for its cameo in advertising extraordinaire Jazzy Mezcal’s famous travel and food show! Comfort town folks had worked hard all summer to get their shops Hallmark-movie ready. On the eve of the TV crews overtaking the town, Gloria’s Chamber of Commerce welcome party gets drenched in a wicked rainstorm. Locals call it a “blue norther,” and a dreaded agent of change. Flooding seems like the worst of their problems until the celebrity TV host turns up dead.

In shock, Gloria’s friends turn to her to figure out who could be responsible for such a disaster. With the TV crew and guests in town for the 8^th Street Market’s annual shopping event, suspects are endless. Reluctant to get involved, Gloria would much rather focus on the delicious romance with Mason Lassiter. And she would if a frenemy from Kerrville didn’t haunt her every step. Now as Gardener Rogers treads on her turf, everything feels suspicious. 

With all eyes on Gloria to find the truth behind Jazzy Mezcal’s untimely death, she indulges her curiosity for problem solving while trying to disguise how unsure she is about the future with her boyfriend. Disruption in Mason’s world, mayhem in Comfort, and one epic chocolate disaster rouse Gloria to action and make her decide what’s worth fighting for. All she can say for sure, is that no one is finding any comfort in Comfort.

Comfort is a small town inviting to outsiders and home to familiar characters. Characters are richly developed with distinctive personalities and are relatable, illustrating realistic points of view based on their experiences. Folks in this community stand by one another.

Gloria’s welcoming party starts magnificently, only to drown in a sudden storm of epic proportions, culminating with the star of Jazzy Mezcal’s travel and food show being found dead the following day.

Returning from Dallas, Mason appears at Gloria’s door first thing in the morning. He is the handsome and eligible owner of the high-end clothing store, with an eye on more than creating new spaces in Comfort. Gloria’s growing attraction to Mason Lassiter highlights her fears he won’t commit to her. He says the right things yet holds a few secrets that fuel Gloria’s insecurities. They are both mature, strong-willed individuals, and with their life history comes Mason’s son and Gloria’s former husband.
