    The love of a lifetime hasn't always been easy . . . 
     
     
     
    Stefano—Phoenix Commander 
     
     
     
    They'd known each other for over thirty years, been together for a good portion of those years, and had lived in the same house for the past two. Still, Giovanni Rossi wouldn't tell people they were a couple. Their family and friends suspected they were together, but nothing had ever been confirmed. And frankly, Stefano hated all the secrecy. Maybe Rossi didn't want to make it official between them. Or maybe it was as simple as, Rossi wanted to live a straight life for the public. Bottom line? Stefano is tired of living in Rossi's closet. 
     
     
     
    Rossi—Phoenix Chief 
     
     
     
    How the hell had he gotten into this predicament? His boyfriend, who on all accounts should have been his husband years ago, had left him. And Rossi had only himself to blame. Now he had to use his elite team of operatives to find the man who held his heart. If he had to, he'd toss Stefano over his shoulder and carry him home. But what if that didn't work? Well then . . . he would have to come up with something else to convince Stefano to give him another chance. Because there's no way in hell Rossi is going to live without him.

    The Male Gazed - On Hunks...

    Manuel Betancourt has long lustfully coveted masculinity—in part because he so lacked it. As a child in Bogotá, Colombia, he grew up with the social pressure to appear strong, manly, and, ultimately, straight. And yet in the films and television he avidly watched, Betancourt saw glimmers of different possibilities. From the stars of telenovelas and the princes of Disney films to pop sensation Ricky Martin and teen heartthrobs in shows like Saved By the Bell, he continually found himself asking: Do I want him, or do I want to be him? 
     
     
     
    The Male Gazed grapples with the thrall of masculinity, examining its frailty and its attendant anxieties even as it focuses on its erotic potential. Masculinity, Betancourt suggests, isn't suddenly ripe for deconstruction—or even outright destruction—amid so much talk about its inherent toxicity. Looking back over decades' worth of pop culture's attempts to codify and reframe what men can be, wear, do, and desire, this book establishes that to gaze at men is still a subversive act. 
     
     
     
    Written in the spirit of Hanif Abdurraqib and Olivia Laing, The Male Gazed mingles personal anecdotes with cultural criticism to offer an exploration of intimacy, homoeroticism, and the danger of internalizing too many toxic ideas about masculinity as a gay man.
