Delaney Alexandria McCoy is a successful 52-year-old Chicago immigration attorney whose life is built on immaculate routines. She values control above all else-in the courtroom, in her brownstone apartment, and in her private life. Then comes Michael: a passionate, volatile photographer twenty-five years her junior. What begins as a discreet, intoxicating affair quickly spiraling into a tangled web of secrets, betrayal, and high-society deceit. When Laney discovers that the people around her-from envious socialites to untrustworthy friends-have crossed her, she doesn't break down. She takes matters into her own hands. With razor-sharp pragmatism, chilling composure, and a total refusal to be victimized, Laney embarks on a quiet campaign to eliminate every obstacle in her path.
