Toxic Bachelors - Danielle Steel

Danielle Steel explores the perils of dating, relationships, and love in a novel
that takes us into the intoxicating, infuriating world of three charming single men,
also known as…

Toxic Bachelors

They were the best of friends and the most daunting
of bachelors....Charlie Harrington, a handsome philanthropist, has such high expectations
for his perfect bride that no mortal need apply....Adam Weiss, a forty-something
celebrity lawyer, prefers his women very young, very voluptuous, and very short-term….And
for Gray Hawk, a gifted artist with a knack for attracting troubled relationships,
women are fine; it's just the idea of family he can't imagine (particularly the family
of the woman he's dating).

Now the three friends, spending their annual summer
vacation cruising the Mediterranean aboard Charlie's majestic yacht, are about to
have their bachelorhood rocked. By autumn all three will fall precipitously into
relationships they never saw coming. Charlie begins dating a crusading social worker
who couldn't be further from his ideal-until he makes a stunning discovery about
her. Adam gets involved with his usual twenty-something bombshell-only this one has
a remarkable mind of her own. And Gray, who has avoided both business and family
like the plague, has managed to fall head over heels for a successful career woman- who just happens to be a mother as well.

As another holiday on the yacht approaches,
and with it a turning point in each man's life, the three bachelors are forced to
face the things that scare them most: their phobias about relationships, the wounds
of the past-and the kind of women who challenge their deepest terrors. What happens
next will spark big changes for Charlie, Adam, and Gray-and might just put an end
to their carousing days forever. For as the once-carefree trio is about to discover,
love is the most unpredictable adventure of all.

Filled with all the joy, complexity,
and unexpected surprises of life, Toxic Bachelors is Danielle Steel at her poignant
and penetrating best.
