Novels

Quentin Jackson ha seguido cada movimiento de Jason Spade en los negocios y en el póquer desde su primer día como estudiantes universitarios. Ocho años después, cuando Jace finalmente decide que Quent es el hombre sin el que no puede vivir, no ve razón alguna para que eso cambie.

Por más que Jace crea que el póquer es como la vida misma, nadie le dio el mismo manual de estrategias a Quent. Después de la primera noche de pasión, comienza el verdadero juego de amor y confianza. Sin embargo, Jace ha estado jugando solo demasiado tiempo como para poder enseñar las reglas de manera fácil. Jace solo habla dos idiomas: uno es el sexo, y el otro el póquer. Entre ambos, necesitan encontrar una manera de convencerse de darle una oportunidad al amor, y a Quent de que le dé una oportunidad a él. Afortunadamente son buenos descifrando probabilidades, porque juegan para ganar, y esta es una relación de alto riesgo por la que de verdad vale la pena arriesgarse.

I ragazzi indossano camicie rosa della Izod, le ragazze hanno capelli vaporosi e tutti possiedono una scatola del fumo; AIDS è solo una brutta parola che rimbomba dalle città come un temporale.

Ma questo è solo l’inizio della loro storia.

Josiah Daniels voleva pace, tranquillità e una vita semplice, e l’ha avuta finché non ha salvato Casey dalla fame, dal freddo e dallo sfinimento.
