A wealthy family has given up all hope after years of suffering from a devastating tragedy when an unlikely heroine enters their lives. Despite the rumors in town about Locke Mansion, its mysterious owner and his troubled son, Rachel desperately needs employment to save her mother. There is an open position at the infamous estate, yet few dare apply. Having learned the hard way through her father’s death that the smallest choice can alter a life forever, she still chooses to live by faith, not fear. So, she ignores her brother’s warnings, trusts in the power of prayer and ventures to the mansion on the hill.

Upon finding out the truth about the Locke family’s gut-wrenching past, her tender heart breaks for them. Determined to be a light in their dark and lonely world, she asks God for wisdom and the courage to stay. However, nothing is as she’d envisioned. Rachel soon discovers, battling a spirit of anxiety amongst the nightly shadows in such a sprawling house is one thing; not falling for this eccentric, handsome man she shouldn’t want proves to be another challenge entirely—especially when he looks at her that way.
