Meet two men who need each other’s help but don’t realize it until it’s almost too late.<br><br>Noah is gay and terrified someone might find out. So much so that when he was blackmailed with pictures of himself with another man, instead of coming clean, he left his SEAL team without a word.<br><br>The other man is openly gay Mason, a former Marine and now part of the FBI’s Joint Terrorist Task force.

In His Sights

Disappointment weighed heavily. Mason rested his elbows on the counter, and he let his head fall into his hands. Earlier he’d been excited and looked forward to an amazing day; now, he was filled with hollowness, and as strange as it was, loneliness.
