From the author of some of the most memorable love stories of
our time comes an explosive tale of betrayal and obsession-and a
daring look into the darker realms of the heart. 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...
