Before he died, Julie Barenson's husband left her two final gifts: a promise that he would always be watching over her and a Great Dane puppy named Singer, destined to become her loyal protector. Four years later, Julie is ready to let love back into her life, but is torn between two very different men. There is the handsome, sophisticated engineer who treats her like royalty, and her late husband's best friend, a familiar and down-to-earth man who has been her rock.

What begins as a journey to find happiness again soon spirals into a fight for survival. One choice, one man, is not what he seems, and a budding romance transforms into a nightmare of chilling obsession and deadly jealousy. Julie soon discovers that the man she thought might be her future is determined to make sure she has no future at all. This story of second chances combines heartfelt romance with electrifying suspense, exploring how the search for love can lead to unimaginable danger.
