In the book, Danielle’s name is Beverly Merrill
A lot of it (the kidnapping/extortion part and the GRAPHIC description of what she's wearing . . .or not. . .when they first meet) is in the pages scanned w/ the mug shot picture link.
Apparently Kevin Maher and Danielle/ Beverly meet in 1986 and he falls in instant lust. He uses his FBI ties to get her a plea deal on the kidnapping related charges--they're reduced to just extortion, and she pleads guilty and gets 5 years probation.
Then she and Maher have a coke fueled on and off relationship where they have a lot of really intense sex.
He gets her into dancing in NJ (she's previously danced in Miami, she says)--at a club called Gallagher's--and is immediately jealous about the fact that she's too good at it. He can't deal with her showing off her body (which. . .duh) and gets insane about the fact that she makes eye contact with the clients.
More fights; more coke; more sex. At one point, she tells him "I've been with, like a thousand guys, and no one makes me feel like you do."
He finds this endearing, and they get married. Problem: HE'S ALREADY MARRIED.
More fights; more coke; more sex; more jealousy. He taps her phone and learns that she's cheating on him with the downstairs tenant, the landlord, her lawyer, and several other guys.
They split up and get back together; she files for divorce and he learns that she's been dancing under the name Danielle (aha!) at some club in Carlstadt, and that her colleagues there don't know she has a husband, but they do know she has a boyfriend--an Al Harris who is a bartender at the Bennigans in Short Hills.
Maher goes to the Bennigans and confronts Harris by jamming a gun in his crotch. After this, he and Beverly/Danielle have another screaming fight, more sex, and a final, brief, reconciliation before they break up for good in 1990.
According to the "where are they now" bit at the end, Maher last saw her dancing at the club in Carlstadt in 1991.

Except for Jackie,(the sister-inlaw)I think everyone of these females No Class- As Soon as anyone of them opens their mouth all that comes out is Crass.
LOL-everytime I'v watch this show the red head, Caroline is thratening someone, anyone.
Yeah, Crass best describes this bunch.
So what do you expect from a bunch of Mafia wives, Emily Dickenson? The most telling thing is that whenever someone uses the word 'classy' they never are. They were brought up to parasitize the weak, and think might makes right. Their actions punctuate that. None of them could survive without some thug behind them. You can feel sorry for a rattlesnake, but its still a rattlesnake. I am always amazed that folks can peel off wads of money and go shopping for thousands of dollars worth of junk and never think about the blood and broken lives that fertilized the sickly flowers of their being.
