London Rivers is a woman who had married for love and the idea that it would be perfect and enduring. So, when her husband, Tyrus Rivers, changed from gentle and loving to sexually and emotionally abusive, she knew her ideal life had ended and so had her marriage. After an attempted rape ordeal with her husband, London finds herself running away from the turmoil of her marriage and into the arms of two other men. Sometimes, a woman can think with the ache between her thighs, instead of with the brain she was given, and bring all kinds of pain and drama into her life. London is so caught up with the way that her body is being pleased; she forgets to think logically about her choices and her situations. She experiences sexual freedom and addiction with her new partners, which in the end would cost her more than she’d bargained for.
