Paramedic Brad Callahan is on duty when the call comes in; a car wreck on the Southern California freeway. Rushing to the scene, Brad discovers the passenger is mystery author and the love of his life, Justin Lowe. After a botched relationship in college with Justin, Brad has lived with regret for thirteen years. Even thinking that Justin hates him, Brad feels compelled to visit Justin in the hospital and assure himself of Justin’s recovery. When Justin awakens, he tells Brad that the wreck was not an accident. Upon release from the hospital, Brad takes Justin to his apartment and offers to help investigate the death threats. Shortly after their arrival home, the long simmering desire for each other comes to the surface and the intimate yearnings become reality again. However, the question that still remains is who wants Justin dead?

Trust - the title says it all. Because of his background, Justin has issues with trust and is jealous of Brad’s friends. One thoughtless incident by Brad and Justin severs the relationship without giving Brad a chance to redeem himself; a decision that has left Justin’s heart unoccupied by anyone else. After Justin moves away, Brad examines his life to resolve the underling stimulus of the path he is on and the direction he actually wishes to follow in his life. Losing Justin’s love is his biggest regret. Both men pay a heavy penance for years. The incredible Shawn Lane delivers an excellent illustration of human judgments and how they can have an effect on life for years; fortunately time along with maturity, provides a second chance. Trust is an amazing story that I enjoyed enormously.
