The Art of Love

Detective Mark Upton is stuck in a rut. Even his boss recognizes he’s just on autopilot and, after solving a major case, sends him off on a sabbatical to go and rediscover his passion. Untethered from his job, he finds himself using his free time to hang out with the same artist who was robbed; a man named Aris Kahn. Aris is handsome, fun, and completely different from anyone that Mark has ever met. He seems determined to open up Mark’s world and Mark loves every minute of it. There’s just one problem: Aris is with Clive, a strange young man who has odd rules about their relationship. When Mark confronts Aris with the possibility that his relationship with Clive is not what it seems, everything changes. With Aris suddenly single, Mark finally has the chance to pursue him honestly and openly. Mark, however, is still a cop and still very suspicious of Clive, particularly when he shows up to a big unveiling of Aris’ work acting a little too strange for Detective Mark’s taste.
