    Summary

    Charlotte Ruth Montgomery was debutante and a Savannah belle that dreamed of life abroad. Behind closed doors, her wealthy parents are abusive and her life is far from the fairytale it appears to be. Shipped off to Cambridge at 12 she remains silent about her abusive home life in an effort to keep using her family's money to pay for a top notch education and leave Savannah forever. By twenty-five she lands a doctorate in Literature with a minor in Musical Theatre from New York University of Fine Arts. 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.

    Quickly she finds herself at the center of a murder investigation and steals the heart of one Mycroft Holmes, the Iceman. Romance ensues, but many are out to harm Mycroft, 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?
