Gay books

Ce qui se passe à Las Vegas ne reste pas toujours à Las Vegas.

Cody Hayes est en train de vivre un lendemain de soirée épique. La gueule de bois qui suit l’enterrement de vie de garçon n’a rien de nouveau, pas plus que l’homme nu dans son lit.

Son mariage apparent, c’est une autre histoire.

Planifier soigneusement chaque détail de sa vie a conduit Julian Canales à un poste de sénateur, en tant qu’homme ouvertement gay. Une soirée alcoolisée à jouer à Action ou Vérité ne lui ressemble pas… et encore moins épouser un homme qu’il vient juste de rencontrer. Il pourrait demander une annulation, mais les médias ont vent de son mariage précipité. Si la carrière politique de Julian veut survivre, il doit rester marié à un homme qui est son parfait opposé.

Maintenant, il doit convaincre Cody que tout ce qu’il leur reste à faire, c’est survivre à un rival politique conservateur, à un ex au cœur brisé, à leurs passés douloureux… et à une attirance qu’aucun des deux hommes ne peut combattre.

In un battibaleno: l’amore non aspetta.

Patch Hastle è cresciuto in tutta fretta: scappato a gambe levate dal paesello del Texas orientale che gli ha dato i natali, s’è fatto una vita a New York come modello e DJ e non s’è mai voltato indietro. Anche quando i suoi vengono improvvisamente a mancare, il ragazzo torna a casa con l’intenzione di sbolognare la fattoria al primo magnate del petrolio che passa e far fagotto più veloce della luce. Peccato che il testamento metta le redini in mano al miglior amico di suo padre, nonché peggior nemico di Patch.

Tucker Biggs ha finito di andare a spasso per rodei: ha messo radici ed è diventato il guardiano-bracciante della fattoria degli Hastle. Sa bene che Patch lo detesta, ma quando il ragazzo ricompare in versione adulta, bello da impazzire, Tucker finisce per trasformare la rimpatriata in una bella lezione sull’esperienza e sui desideri.

È un bel gioco se dura poco, e sia Patch che Tucker sanno già che questo finirà in un battibaleno: appena venduta la fattoria se ne andranno ciascuno per la sua strada e tanti saluti. Purtroppo, però, a ogni secondo che passa le corde che legano il cittadino tutto in tiro e il bifolco dai jeans consunti si stringono sempre di più… E se non vogliono farsi disarcionare, dovranno entrambi capire cos’è che conta davvero, e dovranno farlo alla svelta.

Arcana Imperii

As the so-called magical creatures go, I’m low on the hierarchy, and my powers aren’t much good to human mages. I’m a lover, not a fighter, through and through. I’m also selfish, lazy, and easily bored. But I’m damned good at what I do.

Add the powerful mage guilds scrambling to gather firepower for some doomsday event they’re sure is around the corner, and my cushy life of leisure might be nothing but a memory. On top of that, something’s compelling me to change on my most fundamental level. I’m not sure what I’ve got myself mixed up in, but nothing will ever be the same.

Bloody hell.

Featuring a new twist on urban fantasy combined with fast-paced action and intrigue, the Arcana Imperii series books are standalone adventures, each completely accessible to new readers.
