More Fab Five drama and this time it's the O'Gradys facing turmoil at every turn.

Chloe's high-risk pregnancy has her homebound as she and Shane anxiously await the arrival of twins. Shane is kept busy between home and the office so when Katy's son, Alex, moves to Dallas, taking a job in the offices of O'Grady Enterprises, it couldn't have come at a better time.

Alex is attracted to the hostess at Chloe's Place, Chelsea Wyatt. But Chelsea has a boyfriend…and a secret. When it becomes apparent to all around her she is in an abusive relationship, Alex is more determined than ever to convince her he is the guy for her. As Chelsea comes to the realization she is falling in love with Alex, he gives her a small glimpse of what life with him could be like. But a bombshell is dropped on Alex when he is told someone is stealing from the restaurant and Chelsea is one of the prime suspects. Determined to prove her innocence, Alex discovers just how devious Chelsea's boyfriend, Dante, is. And when Chelsea learns the truth and attempts to break free of Dante's hold on her, he viciously attacks her, leaving her for dead.

As Chelsea attempts to recover from the physical and emotional trauma, Alex is by her side. The Fab Five rally around her and Alex, offering help and support. Can the young couple get back to the plans they made for a life together or is Chelsea too emotionally damaged after the attack to even consider it?
