Be careful what you wish for...

Allie Davids, an extremely successful young business woman, is scarred and carries with her the legacy of an emotionally crushing past. Despite an almost obsessive dedication to her “Beauty Within” chain of beauty salons, she harbors a painful, unfulfilled wish - to simply love and be loved.

Richard Thorpe, the world famous British actor, can have any woman he wants. Love is definitely not on his agenda when their professional paths cross in Cape Town and Allie shares her most intimate, hidden secret. But never say never!

Will Allie find happiness, despite her reckless brother and despite the mysterious threats that hang menacingly over her and her family?

...it may come true!.
