Love In Three Moves — Chris Quinton

Three short stories chart a passionate love affair: yet true love so rarely runs smoothly.

It Takes Two
David Grainger and Ben Tremayne are perfect partners in business and friendship â€" and finally they give in to the temptation of taking that further. Their passionate love has been brewing for a long time, and everything about their new affair is wonderful - until it isn't.

Breaking Point
Ben hasn't seen his ex-lover David, for a year. He lives alone with his remorse for breaking up their affair, overwhelmed by his fear of commitment rather than his love for David. When, out of the blue, David asks him for a favour, Ben grudgingly agrees. The simple errand takes a more complicated turn.

Clue Game
Once instrumental in reuniting Ben and David, their friend Barbara Curtis now needs the couple's help with her own love-life. Despite being in Paris on their pre-honeymoon, Ben and David are caught up in the ensuing puzzle, involving a Paris art gallery, the works of Shakespeare, a devious crossword, a pair of precious earrings â€" and satisfaction for Barbara's heart.
