Nantucket candle store owner Stella Wright specializes in creating unique candles for every occasion. But someone sets the stage for murder when a Memorial Day celebration becomes a wedding to die for . . .

Jessica Sterling&;s candlelight-themed nuptials promises to be the perfect kick-off to the summer&;s first official holiday weekend. Stella&;s thrilled to have been chosen to provide the decorative centerpiece for the wedding ceremony: a two-foot-tall scented unity candle&;a symbol of the happy couple&;s love. But it looks like the bride-to-be&;s uncle won&;t be walking his niece down the aisle after he&;s found dead. The murder weapon is Stella&;s seemingly indestructible candle, now split in two.

When a beloved local bartender is arrested, Stella&;s sure a visiting police captain running the case made a rush to justice. With superstitious brides-to-be canceling orders and sales waxing and waning at her store, the Wick & Flame owner decides to do some sleuthing of her own. Abetted by a charming reporter and challenged by the town&;s sexiest cop, Stella&;s determined to shine a light on the truth and uncover a killer who&;s snuffing out her own flame.
