About this audiobook

After her husband's death, a young widow with a faithful Great Dane must decide between two men -- but as new love blossoms, jealousy turns deadly in this suspenseful New York Times bestseller.Julie Barenson's young husband left her two unexpected gifts before he died - a Great Dane puppy named Singer and the promise that he would always be watching over her. Now four years have passed. Still living in the small town of Swansboro, North Carolina, twenty-nine-year-old Julie is emotionally ready to make a commitment to someone again. But who?

Should it be Richard Franklin, the handsome, sophisticated engineer who treats her like a queen? Or Mike Harris, the down-to-earth nice guy who was her husband's best friend? Choosing one of them should bring her more happiness than she's had in years. Instead, Julie is soon fighting for her life in a nightmare spawned by a chilling deception and jealousy so poisonous that it has become a murderous desire...

Ratings and reviews

No joke one of my favorite by Nicholas Sparks. Right from the get go I am always drawn into the lives of the characters and I get so swept up in the story. Great book, I highly recommend.

I loved this book! My gf bought me a copy she stood in line for him to sign. It is a real treasure! I'm planning to read it again.

The quality of the audio recording was poor considering I could hear voices in the background. Unprofessional.
