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.

And why does the thought of that scare them more than investigating a group of terrorists?

In His Sights

Only minutes had passed when Mason moved over to the island in the center of the room, and hung the last pot. “Perfect. Thanks for helping.”


“My pleasure.” Noah held back a yawn. With his stomach full and his body relaxed, a nap sounded tempting. But something about Mason told Noah that Mason would rather be alone with what he needed to do. So instead of heading to his room, and to avoid getting in Mason’s way, Noah said, “I should head out.”


“Yeah. I guess.” With the way Mason spoke, it was almost as if he didn’t want Noah to go—or maybe Noah read too much into it, thrusting his own feelings onto Mason.


“To the garage?” Any hesitation Noah thought he heard disappeared from Mason’s voice.


“Yes, sir.” The reality of Noah riding Mason’s bike revved Noah up enough to chase away any more urge to nap.


Both men walked out the front door, each taking a deep breath. The air had a bite, but the sun’s strong rays kept the chill from being bitter.
