What Is Bliss About?

The premise of Bliss without spoilers.

A bold, rule‑breaking romance follows Joseph on his wedding day as he admits his bride isn’t like other women. Though he labels her impulsive, compulsive and obsessive, she proves far more complex. When hidden, troubling secrets emerge, the couple embarks on a passionate odyssey that could either shatter or save their marriage.
