    Her Past Can't Wait

    Slapping the man who groped her isn’t a good career move, but successful ad executive Emily Archer has had it up to here with salacious looks and sexist comments. Unfortunately, the person she smacked is a top executive of her company’s biggest client. Instead of sitting in her hard-earned corner office pouring over marketing proposals, Emily is digging into her past with an EMDR psychotherapist to understand what caused her to snap.
    Then when Emily discovers a sexual predator may be targeting women, she’s determined to stop him. But does she have the courage and tenacity to take down a well-known celebrity? She dodges his threats—and police warnings not to interfere—looking for evidence to connect the dots. The closer Emily inches toward the truth, the closer she comes to a dangerous confrontation where she could be his next—and final—victim.
