FYI - This is a suspense thriller with a romantic element, not a romantic suspense. Romance plays a part in the story as the protagonist does fall for a man who doesn't give back that love.
Daniel Caruso, a newspaper columnist is secretly gay, even though he has a wife and family. He can't afford to let his secret out, but due to an indiscretion, and a killer who dogs his step and desperately wants to out him, he has no choice but to tell all to the wife he loves and the child he loves more than his life.
Throughout the novel Daniel fights inside with his true sexuality, feeling a fake for ever marrying, and living a lie when he isn't at home. It might be easier to condemn his actions for not telling his nearest and dearest of his desire for men, but it is interesting to note that there are plenty of men who go through the same kind of heartache all the time.
Gary Zebrun gives the reader a blow by blow account of a gay man's life marred by a series of unfortunate events where the protagonist becomes trapped in a different world from the one his wife and child occupy, until later when he has to reveal all. Through his unhappiness he trawls the gay bars and saunas for satisfaction from other like-minded men, increasing the guilt he feels right up until the end.
There are parts in this that are quite horrific, while others are sexually charged and at times sensual. It reads like an autobiography of how a man's life can go wrong despite having a promising career. Information for this novel can be found at www.alyson.com.
