Prodigal: A Gay Forced Proximity, Opposites Attract Romance - Paperback

by Avril Ashton (Author)

One man intent on reclaiming his birthright. Another denied his own. The secrets between them should keep them apart, not bring them closer.

The first time someone tried to kill Gideon Winters, his mother took the bullet meant for him. He was thirteen. The second time they came for him, his father faked Gideon's death and sent him into hiding. It's been fifteen years and he's finally out of the shadows, ready to claim his rightful seat on The Council, the secret group of seven with the ability to make or break corporations and countries.

The son of a powerful man who refuses to acknowledge him, André Tesfaye leads a quiet life of monotony that's upended when he gets trapped in a random robbery. Whispered warnings abound about the man who saves him, but he's too busy getting lost in Gideon's ice-blue eyes to listen.

André is the weapon Gideon plans to use to exact revenge on the people who took so much from him. Wanting him, loving him, puts everything at risk, and tests Gideon's loyalties and focus... Which is a shame, because a battle is on the horizon.

And Gideon has acquired a weakness.

Prodigal is the first book in The Council, a brand new series by bestselling m/m author Avril Ashton. It features forced proximity, opposites attract, interracial romance, and Av's signature heat and angst.
