Title: Every Man for Himself - A novel of love, romance and finding Mr. Right Author: Orland Outland Published by: Kensington Books, 1999 ISBN: 1-57566-418-6 [hardcover, 265 pages]
Meet the exquisitely handsome John Eames, well-positioned in a San Francisco publishing firm, ex-member of the gay disenfranchised (read: out of shape), and vitally aware of the important things in life (Armani vs. Timberland). But despite his perfect pecs, great hair, and fabulous face, the eve of John's thirty-third birthday has left him helplessly stranded between two parallel lives: one as the dutiful husband to Harrison, a staid forty-two-year-old history professor, the other as a queer on the rebound, panting for that lost spark of passion. Until a trial separation with Harrison ignites a high-octane fantasy come true, where stability clashes with abandon and good sex proves stiff competition for the human heart. As friends take sides, enemies take cover, and one-night stands take what they can get, a dance of discovery begins, led by one totally liberating and wildly unpredictable law of desire: every man for himself. Only this man may not want to play by those rules.
