It would appear that there is very little some people would not do in the interest of getting ahead. The salesman lying to a prospective customer in order to make a sale; the politician “buying” friends, and thereby support at the ballot box; the businessman deliberately setting out to destroy his competition… the examples go on and on.
And, as usual, people suffer.
VIRGIN IN HEAT — is the story of Wendy Evans, at first an innocent young girl, who, soon stops at nothing to win a beauty contest in the hope of becoming rich and famous. With only success in mind, Wendy uses her body in order to attain her goals — and, of course, she is the one who eventually suffers. She becomes surrounded by men who are willing to use her and abuse her, and her degradation seems destined to continue unabated.
A shocking novel of human greed and human nature. A story that asks many questions about our unsettled times.
In the small Mid-Western town of Oakdale courting couples gathered by the dozens every Saturday night at Trout Lake to play a familiar game. In each parked car a boy was trying to persuade a girl to go just a little farther. And in one car, a green ’72 Chevy, the boy seemed to be succeeding.
“Wendy, baby,” Dick Borden panted, “I want you so much.”
Wendy Evans eagerly returned Dick’s hot embrace and sighed, “I want you, too, Dick.”
“How much do you want me?” Dick said, nuzzling her neck. “Enough to marry me?”
Wendy drew back. “Dick,” she said sadly, “you know that isn’t possible.”
Dick gave her a hurt look, and once again Wendy felt caught in a terrible dilemma. She loved Dick and had been planning to marry him for a long time. But recently she’d had a chance to enter the Miss North America beauty pageant, the dream of her life, and the pageant wasn’t open to married women. She had to choose between the man she loved and the greatest ambition of her life.
“Does that damned contest really mean so much to you?” Dick said bitterly.
Wendy bit her lip. “Dick, I want to be in that contest more than anything,” she said. “It means so much to me. We could get married after the contest. We’d only have to wait a year.”
