Imminent Peril

When civil litigator and Krav Maga fighter Sasha McCandless pummels a harasser into a pulp during an altercation in a bar, she's sentenced to an anger management diversion program for first-time offenders. Sasha chafes at the sentence, arguing that she was defending herself from imminent danger. But her law partner Will Volmer and her husband Leo Connelly both beg her to go along with the program to protect her license to practice law and her family’s privacy.

One of Sasha's anger management classmates complains bitterly that she's being set up to discredit her. She claims she’s a whistleblower with explosive dirt on her employer. When the woman goes missing, Sasha suspects she may have been telling the truth. 

Sasha and Leo set out to investigate and discover a cover-up with the deadliest of implications. Sasha has no choice but to pursue justice, but in doing so she puts herself and her family in the crosshairs, endangering not only her livelihood, but her life.
