| There is something special about The Sweet Shoppe, and sometimes it might be near you unexpectedly, or near someone you know. Linda Wheeler and Nicodemus McCabe grew up together and still own jointly the McCabe and Wheeler Dude Ranch. Linda left 15 years before to escape Hell as she thinks of this dusty part of Texas, and Nick stayed on. Even back in high school, Linda had always figured in Nicks teenage dreams, and for Linda, Nick was always her teenage love.
After Linda's luck runs totally out in her personal life, she makes the trip back home, intending to talk Nick into buying her share of the ranch, to enable her to make a new start. On her way to the ranch she drives by The Sweet Shoppe and picks up some fudge...and what happens after that is something neither would foresee.... The Sweet Shoppe stories are wonderful; short, delightful and definitely luscious, and I for one hope this turns into a series with more stories to come.
