Dalma Heyn

The bestselling author of The Erotic Silence of the American Wife is back with another provocative peek at women’s secret lives.Have you ever looked at one of your women friends and asked yourself, “She’s so terrific–why is she with him?”

In her newest book, Dalma Heyn examines a rising trend in today’s relationships–the coupling of high-achieving women with men Heyn terms “Drama Kings,” weaker men who are drawn to the women’s strength but ultimately attempt to sabotage it. These men create chaos in relationships, driving the women crazy in the process.Weaving examples from history, literature, and popular culture with clinical research she has conducted over several decades, Heyn illuminates an exploding phenomenon that’s just reaching public consciousness. She details the telling traits of Drama Kings, such as “The Visitor,” “The Proprietor,” and “The Hit-and-Run Lover.”
