Can a Man and a Woman Ever Really Be “Just Friends”?

Clayton Dunham, author of Crosses: A Christian Executive, explores this very question in his new work Unadulterated Love, Examining Affairs of the Heart and Platonic Relationships. It is a heart-wrenching tale of close friends of the opposite sex who experience the dangers of a secret friendship.

Wilmington, NC, December 20, 2006 --(PR.com)-- A chance meeting brought them together. Married, but not to each other, Stacey and Teague explore the limits, depths, and dangers of their secret—although unconsummated—love affair.

Stacey replied, "I don't feel guilty at all about keeping these innocent secrets from our mates. Maybe there is a flaw in my character that makes feel this way, but I prefer to believe it is the strength of my reasoning that frees me from such guilt. Teague, we are doing nothing wrong and we won't. However, if our mates find out about us we know they will demand we stop seeing each other, and we know we are unwilling to ever do that…”

“There is no more mysterious subject a writer might consider than the way humans relate to one another,” author Dunham writes. “The complex cords that bind human to human can be as strong as steel yet as brittle as soda crackers.” He uses this understanding of the human heart to weave an intriguing tale that exposes the skillful rationalizations people use to justify their risky and inappropriately close extramarital involvements with members of the opposite sex. Unlike most books that tackle the subject of infidelity, his story delves into the often-overlooked spiritual component of covenant relationships such as marriage, as well as the damage done to our invisible selves when we violate our spiritual natures—even while the physical is kept in check.

In Unadulterated Love, Dunham harnesses the passion of a love quadrangle through magical love letters, deep and witty dialogue, charming poetry, controversial intimate debates, and numerous adventurous holiday rendezvous. The story will make readers simultaneously long for and loathe an unadulterated love affair of their own. It is a sparkling tale told with humor and verve, one that will stay with the reader long after the last page has been turned.
