Riches to rags ... Chaos is down ... Everyone loves sparkly rings ... Some more than others! 
Who knew a simple trip to the consignment store would find Wendy being strong-armed by two strangers? So not allowed--especially as it could affect Doreen getting her month-end check! Trying to get to the bottom of this is one convoluted story to sort out. It involves Bernard--an eccentric and handsome older man, who had a very young fiancee in his life--the breakup, and the resulting theft. 
Corporal Mack Moreau is not at all happy with Doreen's new male friend, Bernard, who has the money to keep her in the style she was accustomed to. However, Mack is happy Doreen is staying out of his cases, if only she could stay out of trouble! Then again, Doreen can find trouble like this without any effort on her part. At least this time she also befriends another Kelowna icon, who lives behind Wendy's store and who is well-known for her quince jams and jellies. 
Yet a big shiny reward from Bernard awaits someone who solves the theft and how it involves Wendy and the jam icon. Maybe--just maybe--that someone could be Doreen.
