    About this ebook

    If there’s one thing that can ruin your workday, it’s getting sexually harassed. 

    Beautiful, blonde Jackie has figured out how to handle it—most of the time. 

    But last Friday she almost got kidnapped in the parking lot by a guy in a hoodie wearing too much aftershave. That's right. He put on aftershave for what might have been a little spot of rape, kidnapping, and possibly murder.

    Between coping with work and this guy, Jackie has had it. She's out of people juice and looking for revenge.

      People Juice - Diane R. Thompson

      People Juice
