About this ebook

In this suspenseful New York Times bestseller, a chance encounter between a successful lawyer and a rebellious bad boy will change life as they know it forever, as their pasts catch up with them . . . Colin Hancock is giving his second chance his best shot. With a history of violence and bad decisions behind him and the threat of prison dogging his every step, he's determined to walk a straight line. To Colin, that means applying himself single-mindedly toward his teaching degree and avoiding everything that proved destructive in his earlier life. Reminding himself daily of his hard-earned lessons, the last thing he is looking for is a serious relationship.

Maria Sanchez, the hardworking daughter of Mexican immigrants, is the picture of conventional success. With a degree from Duke Law School and a job at a prestigious firm in Wilmington, she is a dark-haired beauty with a seemingly flawless professional track record. And yet Maria has a traumatic history of her own, one that compelled her to return to her hometown and left her questioning so much of what she once believed.

A chance encounter on a rain-swept road will alter the course of both Colin and Maria's lives, challenging deeply held assumptions about each other and ultimately, themselves. As love unexpectedly takes hold between them, they dare to envision what a future together could possibly look like . . . until menacing reminders of events in Maria's past begin to surface.

Rich in emotion and fueled with suspense, SEE ME reminds us that love is sometimes forged in the crises that threaten to shatter us . . . and that those who see us for who we truly are may not always be the ones easiest to recognize.

Ratings and reviews

I like that the characters in Nicholas Sparks books are flawed. Colin is far from perfect but he grew on me as the book went on. Sparks usually writes romances with plenty of drama and suspense. This was a little different from his other works, but is still recognizable as a Sparks novel. I think most people would enjoy reading this book. The writing is good enough that you forgive Sparks for being a little predictable.

I really loved this book I will read more by him, I was skeptical at first because majority of his novels have been turned in movies and I just didn't want to read another book that would probably be a movie but I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed Maria and Colin. And all supporting cast especially Lily and Evan. #Spoiler alert I knew the dad was involved

I'm not all the way finished but I am in love with this book. I love how Colin is so... who he is and that Maria is accepting, up until the middle, but like I said I'm only more than half way finished but such a great book thus far....
