Book 1, Silicon Valley Series:
What you don't know, can hurt you.
Laura Foster's on the verge of living the life she's always wanted. After over a decade of putting her life on hold to help pick up the pieces of a shattered family, her life is back on track. She's been promoted to V.P. of Monetization at work, her stepchildren are grown, and she's training for the Ironman World Championship.
But when a series of freak accidents can no longer be chalked up to bad luck, it becomes clear that someone is out to get her. Is it someone from work, jealous of her promotion? Or is it someone more dangerous, someone closer to home?
