Grace had known Angela-or known of her-in college. She'd had an odd reputation: It was said that she simply destroyed men who. . . pretty much deserved to be destroyed: aggressive frat boys, roofie artists, date rapists. They met "The Dark Angel," and then. . . you didn't see them on campus anymore. Sent to Angela initially-so she thought-to have her sciatica treated, she quickly discovers two things. The "recreational humiliation" Grace gets from her husband, Finn, is going to get a lot worse: he has damaged women before; Grace's friends are not going to let him destroy her. Under Angela's, literally and figuratively, firm hands, Finn is . . . put in his place. Second-lifelong straight-Grace finds herself immediately drawn to Angela. How far will that go? Once "Finn-free," what does she want to build, in the place of her marriage? And with whom?
