What do you do when someone attempts to frame you for the murder of your roommate? That's the problem facing kinetic artist Trev Eldridge. Although Detective Quint Hawk determines Trev is innocent, it does nothing to assuage Trev's fears. While Quint sets out to discover who's responsible for the murder, Trev is befriended by Dr. Zack Kendall. As Zack helps Trev deal with what happened, the two men begin to bond. At the same time, artist Clay Richardson takes Trev under his wing, after discovering that he is a talented artist. Evidence leads Quint to a theory about the murder and who is involved. With the help of Trev, Zack, Clay, and Officer Lou Hernandez, they come up with a plan to catch the villains. With all that is happening, can the growing attraction between Trev and Zack survive before the criminals take them out of the picture ... permanently?

It Takes an Artist

“You’ll live through this, and by tomorrow you’ll be wondering why you were so terrified. And you’ll be rich enough to move into a larger apartment.”


Trev was about to reply when Amanda and Clay left to let the guests in. He watched as people moved from one piece to another, trying to overhear what they were saying.


“It works better if you move around and meet your soon-to-be fans,” Zack told him with a wry grin, as he put his hand at the small of Trev’s back, urging him forward.


Two hours later, Trev was beginning to believe his dreams were coming true. He watched as Amanda put small Sold stickers on some placards by the various pieces, trying not to show how excited he was that someone really had bought them.


“Told you,” Zack whispered in his ear. “Tomorrow, you’ll be the talk of the art world. Or at least the Denver art world.”
