It’s been said that every person has some dark passion within his soul-some hidden secret, desire or whim that may never surface to be seen even by the closest confidante. Such a secret can be evil and sinister, or it may be trivial and trite.
In America, such dark passions are easily submerged and hidden by the complexities of modern everyday life. Yet, sometimes dark passion surfaces, and another Charles Manson emerges. Sometimes such passions are exposed-and another Tidal Basin or Watergate scandal hits the headlines.
THE BRIDE NEXT DOOR is the story of a couple that dares to let its most base desires and passions come to the fore. They are willing to accept the consequences, be they reward or punishment, for allowing themselves to become completely liberated. Their story is a startling insight into the lives of a family whose motto might be: “If it feels good, do it.”
“It’s so … so perfect, Paul!” Connie gasped as she hugged her husband joyfully and danced her eyes around the living room of their new home. “Everything’s beautiful, just the way we talked about. Oh, darling, I love you! I never thought I could be so happy!”
Paul cupped her face in his strong hands, and his thumbs gently brushed away her tears. He was grinning down at her with obvious delight, enjoying the wonderful moment of her surprise and happiness.
“You don’t know how glad I am to hear that, honey. I knew how you hated that apartment of mine, and I wanted everything to be just right for us. I wanted us to come back from our honeymoon to a real home instead of … “
Connie impulsively smothered his words with a kiss, and her whole body tingled in a wave of sheer joy. Until five short days ago she wouldn’t have thought herself capable of crying from such utter and complete fulfillment. When Paul had first asked her to be his wife, she hadn’t let herself believe that he was really serious. Why would Paul Baker, a handsome aspiring young law student, want to marry such a shy, quiet girl as her?
