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.

About the Author
Boulden, Jacqueline: - JACQUELINE BOULDEN has been a storyteller for as long as she can remember. She's wanted to write a novel ever since she stayed up all night in high school to because she couldn't sleep until she read the ending of Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy. The reality of earning a living and a love of news sent her off to Utica University where she received a B.A. in journalism and public relations. Then she made several career moves around the country covering politics in Washington, D.C., NASA and the space shuttle program in Florida, and fighting the wind for control of her live shots during blizzards and hurricanes while working in Philadelphia and Orlando. Following her Emmy-winning career in TV news, she worked as a writer and producer of educational, corporate, and documentary videos-adding several Telly awards to her name. Throughout the years she had ideas for many novels and even began writing a few of them, but never got to the end. Until now. Jacqueline lives in upstate New York with her spouse and their rescue dog, who's teaching them how to speak Beaglish.Learn more about her at www.JacquelineBoulden.com.
