When the cast is invited to perform their show, Jekyll and Hyde at the Grand Royal Theatre in West End, Charlie decides to make her home in London to find stardom on West End's elite stages once the tour is over and the rest of the cast flies back home.

Romance ensues, but many are out to harm Michael, a man whose only weakness was his younger brother. He exposes his pressure point and in the process the woman he loves more than life itself. Can this Southern Magnolia weather the Icestorm with the Iceman himself? And can she keep her secrets before her past comes back to stop her future?
