Life isn't getting any easier for Rain Arnold. The ghettos of Washington D.C. are a daily reminder that she must struggle to hold on to her dreams. Unlike her tearaway sister, she has battled against the odds to do well at school and to be a good daughter. But Rain can't suppress the feeling that she has never really belonged, that she is a stranger in her own world. Her instincts are confirmed when she overhears a revelation from the past. A long-buried secret is about to change her life beyond recognition. Suddenly everything Rain has ever known is left behind, and Rain is sent to live with the wealthy Hudson family. Just as she never felt a part of the troubled world she was raised in, Rain is also out of place in the luxury and privilege that now surround her. Will Rain ever be able to fulfil her hopes and ambitions -and find a place to call home?

In the wake of a terrible loss, Rain is left alone to bear the Hudson family secrets — as dark and forbidding as storm clouds on the horizon... After the death of her beloved Grandmother Hudson, Rain found herself caught in a battle for the vast Hudson family wealth. Marked to inherit millions, Rain faced the fury of her unaccepting mother, her manipulative stepfather, and her cold, vicious Aunt Victoria. But no amount of money can keep Rain's world from crashing down when sudden tragedy strikes. Left helpless after a devastating blow, Rain sinks into despair as her precious dreams are washed away - dreams that cannot be bought with the Hudson fortune. Her only hope for rebuilding her life rests in trusting a stranger who has come into her world — a man whose generosity and kindness does not appear to come with strings attached, much to Rain's amazement. But just as she opens her heart to a promising new future, her past comes back to haunt her — and Rain is pulled into a furious whirlpool of bitterness and heartache.

She sees strange lights in rooms that are supposed to be closed off. And everything about the place -- the air, the silence, even the somber household staff -- is as cold and soulless as a museum. Behind the icy sheen of wealth and privilege lies something unspeakable. Something that could turn Rain's most precious dreams into an inescapable nightmare....</p>
