Her Past Can't Wait
Jacqueline Boulden
(Author)
Description
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 seeing an EMDR psychotherapist and digging deep into her past to understand what caused her to snap.
As Emily peels back the layers of her memory to reveal the traumatic assault she suffered as a teen, the face of her attacker gradually becomes clear. A man with a secret as dirty as a back-alley dumpster. Who laughs in her face from behind the safety of the statute of limitations.
Determined to stop him from harming anyone else, Emily dodges his threats-and police warnings not to interfere-to connect the dots. The closer Emily gets to the truth about her attacker, the closer she comes to a dangerous confrontation where she could be his next-and final-victim.
Her Past Can't Wait is a gripping novel about resilient women fighting back, protecting each other, and healing.
