Kristen is unlike any woman in this world. A brilliant and multi-talented prodigy, Kristen's humility may be shocking to some, but more shocking are the powerful abilities that Kristen inherited from her family, a family whose unique lineage makes 'kissing the rain' as essential to their survival as eating and breathing. The first female born into the family in centuries, Kristen's abilities are different than those of her brothers, more powerful in some ways, but tragically fatal to anyone with whom she might fall in love. Resigned from a young age to a life without romance, Kristen has committed her life to helping others through medicine. Having completed her cardiology fellowship at UCLA, Kristen is looking forward to a year off to see the world and experience new things, but before she can get started her mother asks her to go undercover to assess and monitor the health of a very close family friend. Unable to refuse her mother's request, Kristen agrees, but first, she must 'kiss the rain'.Famous British actor Ryker Steele is used to being hounded by paparazzi, screaming fans, and beautiful women throwing themselves at him.
