The Dangerous Seduction
by A N BondWith a beautiful, doting fiancée and a dream job at one of New York City's top law firms, life is going well for ambitious but inexperienced attorney, Ryan Paullson. Handpicked by his new boss, Joseph Van Aardt, to work on the firm's biggest case, Ryan soon finds himself out of his depth and struggling with a dangerous and irresistible attraction to the charismatic and ruthless Van Aardt--an attraction that seems mutual. Ryan and Joseph begin a secret affair as they work to build their case against controversial billionaire Jack McNeil. As their affair heats up, Ryan starts to fear how far Joseph is willing to go to win the case, and when two critical witnesses die under suspicious circumstances, Ryan doesn't know whether to suspect McNeil or his lover. He wants to be with Joseph; he just doesn't know how far he'll have to go--or how far he'll have to fall--to hold onto him.

Caught
by A. B. GayleWhen Daniel's invalid landlady asks for his help preventing a possible suicide from the clifftop near their home, he doesn't want to disappoint her. So he grits his teeth, picks up his camera, and goes out to play the Chinese tourist. He's done it before: befriended the lonely, lured them away from the danger zone, acted as a safety net. This time, the figure staring out to sea is way out of his league, his complete opposite, the sort of man Daniel's always admired from afar. Then the attractive Taylor turns the tables and lures Daniel out from behind the safety of his camera, and as Daniel finds himself fighting off an attraction he can't deny, he realizes he's in danger of being caught. Will the camera expose truths about himself that he wants to keep hidden?
Red+Blue (Los opuestos se atraen #1)
by A. B. GayleUn libro de la saga Los opuestos se atraenProcedente del interior del estado de Minnesota, el estudiante de actuariales Ben Dutoit acepta encantado una oferta para trabajar en la aseguradora Sidney Sutherland, una de las pocas empresas que ofrecen seguros de vida calificados como de alto riesgo. El hecho de que vaya a trabajar a la “capital gay”, también conocida como San Francisco, es la guinda de su pastel arcoíris. Ben se marca tres objetivos: ser lo bastante abierto y orgulloso de su sexualidad como para participar en el desfile del Orgullo Gay; buscar la compañía de almas afines en los clubs; y quizás, si tiene suerte, enamorarse. Pero los hombres con los que se encuentra son todo lo que él no es: corteses, seguros, sofisticados y sexis. Al contrario que el “cuello rojo” de Ben, un paleto de la América rural, todos son demócratas de sangre azul, nacidos con estatus, riqueza, y la responsabilidad que acompaña el paquete. Ben aún está preguntándose si rojo y azul pueden mezclarse cuando descubre lo que significa realmente el riesgo. La economía mundial se desploma. El trabajo que tanto deseaba está en peligro, y todos sus sueños se ven amenazados, especialmente el amor, el sueño más importante de todos.
Red+Blue (Opposites Attract #1)
by A. B. GayleAn Opposites Attract novelFresh from backwoods Minnesota, actuarial student Ben Dutoit is ecstatic to land a job with Sydney Sutherland Family Insurance, one of the few companies that offers life insurance to people in the high-risk category. The fact that he gets to work in Gay Central, aka San Francisco, is just the icing on the rainbow-colored cake. Ben sets himself just three goals: be out and proud enough to participate in the Pride parade; seek out the company of like-minded souls in the clubs; and maybe, if he's lucky, fall in love. But the men Ben meets are everything he's not: suave, confident, sophisticated, and sexy. Unlike redneck Ben, they're blue bloods from blue states, born with status, wealth, and the responsibility that comes with the package. Ben's still wondering if red and blue can mix when he discovers what risk really means. The global economy tanks. The job he looked forward to is in jeopardy, and every dream Ben ever had is threatened, especially love, the biggest dream of all. Third Place (Tie): The William Neale Award for Best Gay Romance
Rosso e Grigio (Gli opposti si attraggono #1)
by A. B. Gayle Fran MacciòUn libro della serie 'Gli opposti si attraggono'Appena arrivato dai boschi del Minnesota, lo studente di scienze attuariali Ben Dutoit è entusiasta di aver ottenuto uno stage alla Sydney Sutherland Family Insurance, una delle poche aziende a offrire assicurazioni sulla vita per le categorie ad alto rischio di salute. Il fatto che l'ufficio si trovi a Gay central, ovvero San Francisco, è solo la ciliegina sulla torta, una torta dai colori dell'arcobaleno. Ben ha solo tre obiettivi da raggiungere: essere se stesso senza mai nascondersi e partecipare orgogliosamente al Gay Pride della città, conoscere tanta gente interessante nei vari locali e, forse, se è fortunato, innamorarsi. Ma gli uomini che Ben incontra sono tutto il contrario di lui: galanti, sofisticati, sicuri e sexy. Al contrario di Ben, rozzo provinciale, loro appartengono a famiglie ricche e benestanti, nobili e conservatrici, e portano sulle spalle tutte le responsabilità che derivano dalle loro posizioni. Mentre Ben ancora si chiede se uno come lui potrà mai appartenere al loro mondo, inizia a scoprire i rischi di ciò che questo mondo sofisticato potrebbe comportare. L'economia globale è in crisi e il lavoro che tanto desiderava è sul filo del rasoio. Tutti i suoi sogni sono in pericolo, specialmente quello più grande: l'amore.
Rouge + Bleu (Contraires qui s'attirent #1)
by A. B. Gayle Catherine DelormeContraires qui s'attirent, numéro hors sérieFraîchement débarqué du Minnesota, Ben Dutoit est fou de joie d'avoir décroché un travail au sein de Sydney Family Insurance, l'une des rares compagnies à offrir des contrats d'assurance-vie aux personnes à haut risque. Le fait de travailler à San Francisco, creuset de la culture homosexuelle, constituait juste la cerise sur un gâteau aux couleurs de l'arc-en-ciel. Ben s'est fixé trois buts : affirmer et se montrer suffisamment fier de son homosexualité pour participer à la Gay Pride ; profiter dans les boîtes de nuit de la compagnie de ses semblables et, s'il avait de la chance, tomber amoureux. Mais les hommes que Ben rencontre sont tout ce qu'il n'est pas : charmants, sûrs d'eux, sophistiqués et sexy. Ils constituent l'élite de l'élite, tiennent une place importante dans la société, sont fortunés et endossent toutes les responsabilités qui vont de pair. Ben se demande si le Rouge et le Bleu peuvent se mélanger quand il découvre la vraie signification du mot 'risque'. L'économie mondiale vacille. Le travail sur lequel il comptait est remis en cause et tous les rêves qu'il avait faits sont menacés, et plus particulièrement celui concernant l'amour.
