About this audiobook

Jealousy is a force to be reckoned with ... Louise and Ben Hunter’s loving marriage is marred only by their unfulfilled longing for a child. Living and working with Ben’s father, Ronnie, they are quietly contented. But when Ronnie dies, their whole world changes. News of their father’s passing brings Ben’s lazy brother, Jacob, back on the scene, convinced he stands to inherit Ronnie’s small fortune. And he means to have his brother’s wife too, though, just as she did years before, Louise warns him off. But Jacob is not so easily dismissed. When Ben inherits everything, Jacob is beside himself with rage and commits a terrible deed, one that threatens to destroy everything Ben and Louise hold dear ...
