(Synopsis) Sheryl Taylor has been a hero to many. She assisted travelers trapped in Cairo by the Arab Spring: a slew of sometimes-violent protests and demonstrations across the Middle East and North Africa. When she returns home, though, she finds no hero's welcome. Instead, she teeters on the edge of despair and bankruptcy, all thanks to one man who would have her destroyed. Dr. Sterling Jackson is a master at deception. For more than a few years, Sheryl has been his romantic attachment and his financial investor. It is thanks to him that she faces foreclosure. Even worse, a secret life-radically different from her public persona-might soon be exposed. It seems she has nothing left to live for, which is why Sheryl now contemplates suicide. Somehow, in spite of her struggles, Sheryl's remains strong. Deciding whether to live or die becomes a daily preoccupation-unless Sterling makes the decision for her. With Sheryl going against him, he needs to silence her forever. He can't let the world know he's a cunning con man with an eye for unwary ladies. Will Sheryl find a way to escape her desperate circumstance, or will she give in to the doctor's lethal resolve?
Autorenporträt
Scott Johnson grew up in northern Minnesota and studied political science at Bemidji State University before enlisting in the Air Force for six years. After his service commitment, Scott worked as an IT manager for a sovereign wealth fund in the San Francisco Bay Area. Scott went on to form and operate several small technology and real estate businesses in California while making time to complete a bachelor of science degree. Eventually, he found himself in federal, state, and military contracting. Over the subsequent 15 years, Scott led several companies' sales efforts for professional services, software development, and data service contracts. Scott returned to school a third time during the pandemic. He was accepted into a leading business school program, earning a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of North Dakota. Scott now advises small and medium-sized businesses on government business development, proposal development, channel marketing, and sales capture strategies. Scott and his wife live in northern California and travel with their RV during the off-season. They have one son, a daughter-in-law, and a grandson and are in their third decade of living with McNab Shepherds.
