Cassie Nightingale (Bell) finds herself with only days to plan her stepson Brandon's
(Knight) wedding to Tara (Leggat) when the happy couple unexpectedly pushes up the date for
their big day. Meanwhile, Martha (Disher), the newly elected mayor of Middleton has roped
Cassie into chairing the silent auction to raise much-needed funds for her pet project, the
Middleton Botanical Gardens. Audrey (Wilson), a new arrival in town, pops in to Cassie's store
Bell, Book & Candle and the two instantly bond. Needing help in the store, Cassie immediately
hires Audrey as her new store associate and she even pitches in and helps Cassie organize the
auction. But, Audrey is hiding a secret past and suspicions start to swirl around her when the
donated auction items are missing. With the use of her "special" powers - as well as some
teamwork by the Mayor and Jake (Potter), her husband and local Chief of Police - Cassie hopes
to conjure up the truth before it's too late.
