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. It takes eight years after their first meeting in the desert for a chance event bring the two men together again. Now Noah must decide if he’s ready to accept who he is or if it’s easier to cut and run. Can they navigate the obstacles in their path to build a relationship? And why does the thought of that scare them more than investigating a group of terrorists?

In His Sights

Until one of the guys involved moved to where Noah could spot him. Noah did a double take. And before his brain could fully comprehend what he saw, he was up, out of his seat, darting across the room. Fuck. The voice, now shouting through the bar, caused him to quicken his pace.


He made it over to the group as Mason ducked out of the way of flying fists.


The bartender shouted, “Security is on the way,” but no one paid him any attention.


Not giving it any thought, Noah stepped in the middle, putting himself in between Mason and the three guys it seemed he picked a fight with. “I don’t know what the fuck is going on here, but you better step back. Security is coming.”


The biggest guy in the group stomped forward, stepping into Noah’s space, and said, “Think you need to move on, guy. This ain’t got nothing to do with you.”


Not backing down, Noah replied, “See, that’s where you’re wrong. This guy here’s my friend, which makes this my problem.”
