Synopsis "Inches of Trust (in English)"
When architect Brian Townsend meets a man dressed as Zorro at a Halloween party, it seems like a chance hookup. There's no denying Brian's immediate attraction, but it takes more effort than he thought it would just to find out the man's name. NYPD homicide detective Tristan Blake comes from old money, which he loathes. An idealistic streak burns within him to do a job that serves a purpose. A former lover scorned him at a time he was most vulnerable, after the death of a friend, and now Tristan is slow to trust what appears to be a developing relationship between him and Brian. Beer tasting, a broken window, a fall down a flight of stairs, a grenade, and a violent attack ... what do these all have in common? Each one brings Tristan an inch closer to trusting Brian with his heart. Contains the stories: Crimson Regret, A Taste of Darkness, A Glimpse Inside, Windows and Walls, Head Over Heels, Police Navidad, Auld Acquaintance, Tabled Discussions, Pulling the Pin, and Vulnerability.
